Tenuta Giustini, Acinorè Primitivo di Manduria 2022

Tenuta Giustini’s Acinorè Primitivo di Manduria 2022 captures the warmth and intensity of southern Puglia while keeping a remarkably fresh, balanced profile. Sourced from vineyards in Salento, close to the sea, it reflects the character of one of Italy’s most celebrated red-wine zones, where Primitivo has long been a local signature.

Tasting Notes
Expect a deep, насыщенный ruby color in the glass, with aromas of ripe dark berries, plum, and warm Mediterranean spice, lifted by a subtle freshness from the coastal influence. On the palate, it is likely to be generous and full-bodied, with concentrated fruit, soft tannins, and a smooth, rounded texture that makes the wine approachable while still structured. Thanks to the careful extraction and cool vinification approach, the wine should retain a lively freshness that balances its natural richness. It can be enjoyed young for its vibrant fruit, but should also hold nicely for a few years as the flavors knit together and develop more savory complexity.

Production
The vineyards lie in Salento, in the southern part of Puglia, where fertile soils, strong sunlight, and sea breezes create ideal conditions for Primitivo. The nearby sea and the moderating winds Scirocco and Tramontana help temper the heat, allowing the grapes to ripen fully while preserving freshness. Harvesting is done by hand with strict sorting, and the cellar work focuses on low-temperature vinification and the use of only indigenous yeasts to preserve purity and local character.

Food & Serving
This is a natural match for grilled meats, lamb, braised dishes, and rich Mediterranean fare such as pasta with ragù, roasted vegetables, or aged cheeses. Serve slightly below room temperature, ideally around 16–18°C, and decanting for 30 minutes can help open up the aromas and soften the wine’s structure.

Producer
Tenuta Giustini is a family-run estate led by Giuseppe Papadopoli, with support from his sons Salvatore, the winemaker, and Federico, who manages the cellar. Based in Salento, the winery has built its reputation on expressing the best of Puglia’s native grape varieties through meticulous vineyard work and restrained cellar practices. Their focus on freshness, authenticity, and precision has helped establish Tenuta Giustini as a respected name in the region.
