BWW 2022 - Best Italy Wine Critic of the World
Luca Gardini
Excellent gustatory tension for this happy vintage of Primitivo Riserva. Fascinating nose, with notes of cherries in alcohol, touches of black pepper and nutmeg, then hints of undergrowth at the end. On the palate savory-brackish tannins, with a return of the balsamic component and sweet spices.

Description

Primitivo Manduria Riserva is one of the wines that best embodies Masseria Ficarigna's commitment to enhancing the value of the Salento land. Its name is inspired by one of the most symbolic fruits of the region, namely the prickly pear, which originated in Mexico. The snake depicted on the label recalls an ancient Aztec legend according to which nomads from the north would stop their journey when they came across a prickly pear plant growing out of a crevice in a rock with an eagle feeding on a snake at the top.

This is a 100% Primitivo wine, produced from grapes harvested by hand in the Manduria area. The grapes are gently pressed and fermented at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks. It is then aged in oak barrels for 12 months.

In the glass, it has a ruby red colour with intense garnet reflections. The nose opens with aromas of ripe red fruit and plum jam, with clear spicy hints of vanilla and balsamic. The palate is dry, warm and supple, with a pleasantly toasted finish.

It pairs perfectly with braised meats, grilled red meats and game.
