Carlone

2008 Primitivo Di Manduria 100% Primitivo

The C.S. Sampietrana S.C. A R.L. Carlone is a remarkable red wine crafted exclusively from 100 percent Primitivo grapes, showcasing the vibrant character of the Primitivo di Manduria region. This vintage from 2008 exhibits a rich, deep ruby hue, enticing the senses from the very first glance. On the palate, the wine presents a full-bodied experience, with a robust and textured mouthfeel that gracefully unfolds layer after layer of fruit-forward delight. The acidity is bright and lively, balancing the richness beautifully, while the trained palate will discern a notable presence of tannins that provide structure without overwhelming. With its pronounced fruit intensity, expect flavors of ripe blackberries and cherries, complemented by subtle hints of warm spices that linger on the finish. This wine is crafted to be dry, allowing the pure fruit essence to shine through and making it a sensational choice for a variety of culinary pairings.
