Masseria la Volpe, Primo Primitivo di Manduria Riserva 2022

Masseria la Volpe Primo Primitivo di Manduria Riserva 2022 is a bold, deeply flavored red from Puglia, crafted entirely from Primitivo. This is a wine made for lovers of rich, full-bodied reds, combining ripe dark fruit, warm spice, and an unmistakable Southern Italian generosity that has made Primitivo di Manduria one of the region’s most celebrated styles.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a dense, almost opaque ruby color that hints at its concentration. The nose is powerful and expressive, with aromas of dried plums, black cherries, figs, and raisins, layered with vanilla, cocoa, licorice, and sweet spice from oak aging. The palate is lush and velvety, with plenty of jammy dark fruit, round mature tannins, and a smooth, warming richness. There is a sweet-spiced edge throughout, leading to a long, persistent finish. With its structure and concentration, it should drink well now and can develop additional complexity over the next few years.

Production
Made in Puglia from 100% Primitivo, this Riserva reflects the warm southern terroir that gives the grape its signature ripeness and power. The region’s sun-drenched vineyards help the fruit reach full maturity, while careful vinification and oak maturation add depth, spice, and the polished texture typical of a serious Primitivo di Manduria.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with grilled or roasted red meats, slow-cooked lamb, rich pasta dishes, and aged cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 30–60 minutes to soften the tannins and let the aromas open fully.
