Leone di Castris Villa Santera Primitivo di Manduria 2022

''Deep dark ruby. On the nose there are notes of ripe cherry and forest fruit, followed by blackberry jam. The palate opens with a fine texture, well-rounded, with a fine finish.'' 92 Points, Puglia Trophy, Falstaff Wine Guide (Previous Vintage Review)

The highly regarded Primitivo di Manduria wine region in the heart of Puglia is one of Italy's most revered appellations for the making of delicious bold and spicy reds. Today's featured red the Leone di Castris Villa Santera Primitivo di Manduria 2022 is no exception. Skilfully crafted from hand-picked grapes grown on very mature vines-40 years old on average. It is a concentrated and layered example of a true classic from Puglia. With inviting aromas of spiced cherries and black fruits complemented by undertones of cocoa, tobacco and dried plums.  Medium - full bodied, soft on the palate with flavors that continue to evolve into the finish.  To delve just a little deeper into the finer qualities of this Puglian Red, the esteemed tasting panel from Falstaff Wine Guide and Wine Enthusiast Magazine have put their talents and their taste buds to the test with some very encouraging results!

''Highlighted by a mix of fresh and dried blackberry and dark cherry tones in this Primitivo di Manduria, with heady doses of anise, orange and crushed herbs lending depth. The medium-bodied palate shows plush fruit tones matched by velvety tannins and fresh acidity for lasting support.'' Alexander Peartree, Wine Enthusiast Magazine (Previous Vintage Review)
