Torrevento Primitivo di Manduria Ghenos Rosso 2022

Torrevento Primitivo di Manduria Ghenos Rosso 2022 is a rich, characterful Southern Italian red that shows off the warmth and generosity of Puglia’s most celebrated Primitivo territory. Made by Torrevento, it combines ripe fruit, supple texture, and a distinctly Mediterranean personality, making it a compelling choice for lovers of full-flavoured red wines.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep ruby to garnet hue, often with youthful purple reflections. The nose is generous and inviting, with aromas of dark cherries, plums, blackberries, and hints of dried herbs, spice, and subtle cocoa or liquorice. On the palate, expect a warm, rounded wine with ample ripe fruit, soft tannins, and a smooth, velvety texture. Primitivo di Manduria is known for its concentration and intensity, and this 2022 vintage should offer good immediate appeal while still having enough structure to develop a little further over the next few years.

Production
Sourced from the sun-drenched Manduria zone in Apulia, where calcareous and clay-rich soils, warm days, and cooling sea influences help Primitivo reach full ripeness while retaining balance. The grapes are typically harvested at optimal maturity and vinified to emphasize fruit purity, colour, and softness, with controlled fermentation and careful extraction to preserve the variety’s natural richness and supple tannins.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with grilled meats, braised beef, roasted lamb, pasta with rich tomato or meat sauces, and aged cheeses. Serve at around 16-18°C, and consider giving it a short decant if served young to help open up its aromas and soften the structure.

The winery has built a strong reputation for crafting wines that balance regional tradition with modern precision, and it is recognized for helping showcase the quality potential of Puglia on a wider stage.
