Vigneti del Salento, Zolla Primitivo di Manduria 2024

Vigneti del Salento’s Zolla Primitivo di Manduria 2024 is a rich and generously styled red made from 100% Primitivo. Aged for 6–8 months in used American and French oak, it combines ripe southern Italian fruit with a smooth, rounded texture and lingering finish. Primitivo di Manduria is one of Puglia’s best-known expressions of this naturally full-bodied grape variety.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a deep ruby-red colour with attractive violet hues. Its aromatic profile is intense, complex and fruit-driven, with notes of cherries, blackberries and other ripe red and dark berries, complemented by subtle nuances from its oak ageing. On the palate, it is velvety, warm and generously structured, with ripe tannins, concentrated fruit and a long, satisfying finish. The 2024 vintage is approachable in its youth, while its body, tannic structure and short period of oak ageing should allow it to develop further over the next few years when stored in cool, dark conditions.

Production
Produced from 100% Primitivo grown in the Manduria area of Puglia, this wine reflects the region’s warm Mediterranean character and the variety’s naturally ripe, powerful style. Following fermentation, it undergoes malolactic conversion in stainless-steel tanks before maturing for 6–8 months in previously used American and French oak barrels. Details of the harvesting method are not specified.

Food & Serving
Serve at approximately 16–18°C. Its plush fruit and firm yet rounded tannins make it an excellent match for pasta with rich sauces, roast or grilled lamb, game and mature, spicy cheeses. Decanting is not essential, but a brief 20–30 minute decant can help open the wine’s fruit and soften its youthful structure.
