Tenute Quattro Conti, I Quattro Conti Primitivo di Manduria 2023

Tenute Quattro Conti I Quattro Conti Primitivo di Manduria 2023 is a rich, expressive red from Manduria in the heart of Puglia. Made primarily from Primitivo and complemented by other local varieties, it combines ripe fruit, warm spice and a velvety texture with the generous character for which southern Italian wines are known.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows an intense ruby-red colour. Its nose is rich and inviting, revealing aromas of ripe red and dark fruit alongside hints of spice. On the palate, it is smooth and velvety, with generous fruit, balanced structure and a rounded, satisfying finish. It is approachable in its youth and best enjoyed over the next few years, while its concentration allows it to develop additional softness with short-term cellaring.

Production
The Primitivo grapes come from the area around Manduria, where Puglia’s warm Mediterranean climate supports full ripening and richly flavoured fruit. After destemming and gentle pressing, the wine undergoes an eight-day maceration at a controlled temperature of approximately 25°C. Part of the wine is matured in epoxy-lined concrete tanks, while the remainder is aged in oak barrels, bringing together freshness, fruit expression and subtle woody complexity.

Food & Serving
Serve this full-bodied Primitivo at around 16–18°C. Its ripe fruit and supple structure make it a natural match for grilled or braised red meats, hearty pasta dishes, slow-cooked stews, sausages and mature hard cheeses. Decanting is not essential for the 2023 vintage, but a short airing of 20–30 minutes can help open up its fruit and spice aromas.

Producer
The background supplied for this wine refers to the historic Conti Zecca family, who moved from Naples to Puglia in the 15th century and have produced wine on the estate ever since. The family is described as one of the region’s long-established independent wine producers, with deep roots in the Salento area. As the product is listed under Tenute Quattro Conti, specific additional information about that estate’s history and achievements is not available here.
