Campi Deantera, Primitivo di Manduria Verso Vecchie Vigne 2020

Campi Deantera Verso Vecchie Vigne 2020 is a rich and polished Primitivo di Manduria from Salento, where old-vine character meets a modern winemaking approach. Its combination of concentrated dark fruit, supple tannins and carefully integrated oak makes it a compelling choice for lovers of full-bodied southern Italian reds. Primitivo has deep roots in Puglia, and this wine reflects the region’s long-standing tradition of producing powerful, generous wines.

Tasting Notes
Deep and elegant ruby red in the glass. The nose is broad and complex, led by ripe plum and cherry preserve, with subtle hints of spice and tobacco adding depth. On the palate, it is full-bodied, smooth and richly textured, supported by generous tannins. The long finish develops notes of cocoa, coffee and vanilla, leaving a warm and lingering impression. The wine is approachable now thanks to its rounded fruit and polished texture, but its structure and 12 months of oak ageing should allow it to develop further over the next few years when stored in a cool, dark cellar.

Production
Produced in Salento, between the Ionian and Adriatic Seas, this Primitivo benefits from the warm Mediterranean climate and the character of old vines. A cold pre-fermentation maceration at 8°C for 24–48 hours helps preserve and intensify the fruit. Fermentation and temperature-controlled maceration then take place over approximately 10 days at 24–26°C, followed by malolactic fermentation in stainless steel. The wine matures for 12 months in French and American oak barriques, contributing its subtle notes of vanilla, coffee, cocoa and spice.

Food & Serving
A natural partner for hearty dishes, this Primitivo pairs well with rich pasta preparations, slow-cooked red meats and game. It also works beautifully with grilled beef, braised dishes and mature hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C. Decanting for 30–60 minutes is recommended, particularly when enjoying a young bottle, to soften the tannins and allow the wine’s aromas to fully unfold.
