Tenute Rubino Primitivo di Manduria Palombara 2022

Tenute Rubino’s Primitivo di Manduria Palombara 2022 is a concentrated, characterful red that captures the warm, sun-drenched spirit of Puglia. Built around the expressive Primitivo grape, it offers the richness and depth that have made Manduria one of southern Italy’s most admired zones for this variety.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep ruby to garnet colour with impressive density. The nose is ripe and inviting, with aromas of dark cherries, plums, blackberries and Mediterranean herbs, often layered with notes of spice, cocoa and a touch of earthy warmth. On the palate, it is usually full-bodied and supple, with generous fruit, soft tannins and a rounded, warming finish. The 2022 vintage should drink well in its youth, while still having the structure to develop added complexity over the next few years.

Production
Palombara comes from Puglia, where the combination of intense sunshine, warm temperatures and well-suited soils helps Primitivo achieve full ripeness and concentration. Tenute Rubino works with the natural expressiveness of the grape to craft a wine that reflects the Manduria tradition, typically focusing on careful vineyard selection and vinification designed to preserve fruit purity, richness and balance.

Food & Serving
This is a great match for grilled meats, roasted lamb, rich pasta dishes, aged cheeses and tomato-based Mediterranean cooking. Serve it at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 30–60 minutes if you want to soften the wine and open up its aromas.

Producer
Tenute Rubino is a respected Puglian producer known for championing the region’s native grapes and distinctive southern Italian style. The estate has earned a strong reputation for quality-driven wines that express local identity, particularly through varietals like Primitivo and Negroamaro, and is widely regarded as one of the key names helping elevate Puglia’s profile.
