Vinosia Primitivo di Manduria Orus 2023

Vinosia Primitivo di Manduria Orus 2023 is a bold, sun-drenched red from one of southern Italy’s most celebrated Primitivo zones. Sourced from Manduria in Puglia, it captures the variety’s generous fruit, supple texture, and warm Mediterranean character in a style that is both approachable and distinctive.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep ruby to purple hue, hinting at its ripe, concentrated profile. The nose is expressive and inviting, with aromas of black cherry, plum, ripe blackberry, and sweet spice, often framed by subtle notes of herbs, cocoa, and a touch of earth. On the palate, this is usually full-bodied and smooth, with plush dark fruit, soft tannins, and a rounded mouthfeel that makes Primitivo so appealing. The finish tends to be warm and persistent, with enough freshness to keep it lively. While already enjoyable young, it can develop added complexity over the next few years.

Production
Produced in the Primitivo di Manduria zone of Apulia, a region shaped by intense sunshine, sea breezes, and soils well suited to ripening Primitivo fully. The grapes are typically harvested at optimal ripeness to preserve the variety’s rich fruit character, and vinification is handled to emphasize depth, color, and smooth texture while maintaining balance and freshness.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with grilled meats, roast lamb, barbecue, rich pasta dishes, and aged cheeses, as well as Mediterranean dishes with tomato-based sauces or herbs. Serve at 16–18°C, and decanting for 30–60 minutes can help open up the aromatics and soften the wine even further.

Producer
Vinosia is a modern Italian producer with a strong focus on showcasing the native grape varieties and terroirs of southern Italy, particularly in Apulia and Campania. The winery has built a reputation for crafting expressive, regionally true wines that balance ripe fruit with polished structure, helping bring greater attention to southern Italian wines in the premium category.
