Puglia Wine Exploration Part 4


Ristorante Cortesia Puglia Wine Exploration ~All About Puglia Wine~

Introducing Puglia's wineries, wine situation, stories and history related to grape varieties.

The fourth event was held in Mandulia, one of the major black grape varieties in Puglia, with Produttori Vini di manduria, the oldest producer cooperative in Puglia, founded in 1932.

This cooperative, which has about 700 growers, grows a wide range of varieties "Primitivo" that represent the region on an area of about 900 hectares. In the 2000s, the winery switched to cultivation with reduced pesticides and is steadily increasing its reputation.
Perhaps because of this, the standard line red wine "Lirica Primitivo di manduria" has been awarded the highest rating in Trevicchieri (highest rating) for the third consecutive year since the 2017 vintage in Gambero rosso, Italy's most prestigious evaluation guide. It was a great honor for the winery.
Wine lovers' tastes have changed with the times, and wines with strong tannins are required to be elegant and rich in fruit. The taste of Primitivo is also changing.
In the past, Primitivo had many strong wines that emphasized fruitiness, but in recent years, the number of wines that clearly feel the taste of grapes while being beautiful has increased, and many producers believe that the future of this variety is bright.
I think it is meaningful that such producers were evaluated in the process of friendly competition.
In addition, the rosé wine made from Primitivo is also excellent, and when our chef Ebe was introduced in the magazine "Alceo" published in Italy by "Produttori Vini di manduria", an article was published about this rosé wine.

By the way, we always have both red and rosé in glasses and bottles.
Please try it!
