Masseria La Volpe, Primo Primitivo di Manduria 2024

Masseria La Volpe Primo Primitivo di Manduria 2024 is a bold and expressive southern Italian red, showing exactly why Primitivo di Manduria remains one of Puglia’s most sought-after styles. Rich, generous, and immediately appealing, it combines ripe fruit intensity with a polished structure and a touch of oak influence for added depth.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it pours a deep ruby red with a dark purple core, setting the stage for a wine full of character. The nose comes forward with ripe black cherries, blackberries, and plum, layered with spices, liquorice, and a subtle note of sweet balsamic, while hints of herbs and dark chocolate add complexity. The palate is rich and juicy, balanced by a fresh line of acidity that keeps the wine lively and approachable. Soft, well-integrated tannins provide shape without masking the fruit, which shows flavours of cherry compote, blackcurrant, vanilla, black pepper, and a light toasted nuance from oak. The finish is warm, fruit-driven, and persistent, with a pleasant spiciness that lingers; it is enjoyable now but will hold well over the next few years.

Production
Produced in Manduria, one of the most respected areas for Primitivo in Puglia, this wine reflects the warm southern Italian climate that naturally ripens the grapes to full flavour. The region’s sun-drenched vineyards and distinctive soils help create wines with concentration, colour, and supple texture, while careful harvesting ensures the fruit is picked at optimal maturity. Vinification includes oak ageing, which adds subtle spice, vanilla, and toast without overshadowing the variety’s natural fruit expression.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent partner for grilled meats, pasta with rich tomato sauces, braised dishes, and flavourful Mediterranean recipes. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decanting for about 30 minutes will help open up the wine’s aromatic layers and soften its structure.
