The 2014 Primitivo di Manduria Altemura delivers impressive results considering the soggy vintage conditions. The wine opens to soft lines and thick consistency with sweet tannins and plump, purple fruit flavors. This Primitivo sees a brief aging period in French tonneaux but is otherwise focused on portraying those luscious, primary fruit aromas without too many distractions. The mouthfeel shows some edginess with bright acidity and textural richness.
