Papale Primitivo di Manduria 2020
Country/Region: Italy — Puglia, Manduria
Grape: Primitivo
Vintage: 2020
Appearance: Deep ruby with garnet edges; medium to full color intensity.
Aroma: Ripe black cherry and blackberry dominate, accompanied by plum, wild blueberry, and a touch of dried fig. Secondary notes include warm spice—black pepper and clove—plus subtle vanilla and toasted oak from aging.
Palate: Full-bodied and fruit-driven with concentrated black and dark red fruit flavors. Smooth, lush texture with moderate acidity and well-integrated tannins. Flavors of jammy cherry, ripe plum, and cocoa lead into a savory, slightly earthy finish with lingering spice and a hint of dark chocolate.
Alcohol: 14.5%
Food Pairing: Complements hearty fare—grilled meats, braised short ribs, lamb, and rich tomato-based pasta. Also pairs well with aged cheeses (Pecorino, aged Manchego) and charcuterie with robust flavors.
Serving: Decanting for 30–60 minutes can open the aromas and soften tannins.
