PRIMITIVO DI MANDURIA 'LIRICA' PRODUTTORI DI MANDURIA 2019 DESCRIPTION

Primitivo di Manduria "Lirica" is an Apulian red wine produced with the most typical grape variety of the area. The aging in large barrels is the right compromise to be able to taste the fruity face and rich in primary aromas, enhanced and made more mature and complex by a short passage in wood, which already gives pleasant evolutionary notes.

The red "Lirica" reveals to us the more classic character is typical of the Primitivo of the Cantina dei Produttori di Manduria. A reality of over 400 members, managing 900 hectares of vineyards, more than half of which are cultivated with Primitivo. The age of the vines is 20-50 years and The most common training system in the older vineyards is the traditional alberello system, while in the younger plantings espalier is often used. The average density per hectare ranges from 4,000 to 5,000 vines, with a yield of less than 90 quintals per hectare. The presence of so many plots, allows each year to choose the best grapes and always produce quality wines. The grape variety's name comes from its early ripening, with harvesting as early as the end of August. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled steel, and the wine matures for 9 months in large barrels before being bottled.

The Primitivo di Manduria "Lirica" wine from the Cantina dei produttori di Manduria is a wine with a typically Mediterranean profile, a great southern red, soft and enveloping, with very ripe and expressive fruit. The color is deep ruby red with some garnet hues. The bouquet expresses aromas of ripe plum, cherry, small dark berry fruits, hints of underbrush and Mediterranean scrub, spicy and toasted notes, slightly boisé. The palate is warm and intense, with rich and dense fruit, notes of chocolate, carob, already evolved tannic texture, soft and spicy finish.
