Primitivo di Manduria ‘Acinore’ Old Vines
Category: Giustini
An ancient training system called “ad alberello” and a special vineyard where the plants are on average 50 years old. A living heritage that we must protect and enhance. This is where Acinorè comes from, our best expression of Primitivo.
Grapes are hand-harvested, then de-stemming and pressing. The maceration period lasts 15 days, followed by an alcoholic fermentation at a controlled temperature of 24-26°C. Aged in French oak barrels for 6 months.
Ruby red colour with purple hues; an intense and complex bouquet with fruity notes of prune and blueberry jam, pleasant notes of cocoa and vanilla. Intense on the palate, full-bodied and soft with a long aftertaste. Best served with savoury first courses, red meats and game.
