D'Addario Primitivo di Manduria Vignalesta 2023

D’Addario Vignalesta is a still red wine from Sava in Puglia’s Primitivo di Manduria DOC, made from Primitivo. Rooted in the area’s long-standing Primitivo tradition, it stands out for its generous, velvety texture, ripe-fruit character and year-long maturation in French oak.

Tasting Notes
The wine’s colour is not specified in the available information. On the nose, expect plum and wild berries alongside cinnamon, liquorice and dried fig. The palate is full-bodied and opulent, with a smooth, velvety feel, firm structure and a lingering finish marked by coffee and chocolate.

Production
Vignalesta comes from Sava in Salento, within the Primitivo di Manduria appellation. The vineyards grow in iron-oxide-rich soils over limestone, a geological combination associated with mineral character and concentration in the grapes. The Primitivo is vinified to build tannic structure and aromatic intensity, then aged for around a year in French oak barrels. Harvesting methods are not specified.

Food & Serving
Enjoy it with lamb, game, rich ragù or mature cheeses. Serve at 16–18°C and decant for about an hour before pouring to give the wine time to open. No specific cellaring window is provided.

Producer
D’Addario presents Vignalesta as a prestigious expression of Primitivo di Manduria, bringing together local winemaking tradition and oenological expertise. The wine’s Sava origins and focus on the region’s characteristic Primitivo make it a showcase for the Taranto area. Further details about the producer’s history or awards are not provided.
