Campi Deantera, Primitivo di Manduria Are 2023

Campi Deantera’s Primitivo di Manduria Are 2023 is a richly styled red from Salento, where Primitivo has become one of southern Italy’s signature grapes. Crafted by a modern boutique winery between the Ionian and Adriatic Seas, it combines the region’s long winemaking tradition with polished fruit, generous texture and carefully integrated oak.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a deep ruby-red colour with attractive purple reflections. On the nose, ripe cherry and plum aromas are complemented by inviting notes of cocoa and vanilla, adding warmth and complexity. On the palate, it is full-bodied and notably well structured, with soft, rounded tones and a persistent finish. The fruit-forward character is balanced by the wine’s supple texture and subtle oak influence. It is approachable now, but should develop further over the next few years if stored in a cool, dark cellar.

Production
The grapes are sourced from the Salento area of Puglia, a warm Mediterranean region situated between the Ionian and Adriatic Seas. This climate helps Primitivo achieve its ripe fruit character and generous body. The wine undergoes temperature-controlled maceration and fermentation for 10 days, followed by six months of maturation in French and American oak barrels, contributing the gentle cocoa and vanilla nuances.

Food & Serving
A natural partner for hearty dishes, this Primitivo works particularly well with rich pasta sauces, slow-cooked lamb, game served with deeply flavoured sauces and mature hard cheeses. Serve slightly cool, at approximately 16–18°C. Decanting is not essential, but 20–30 minutes in a decanter can help open the wine’s ripe fruit and oak aromas, especially when enjoyed young.
