The Leggenda Primitivo di Manduria from Vigneti del Salento is an impressive red wine that lives up to its name – Leggenda, Italian for legend. Sourced from old Primitivo vines in the prestigious Manduria region, this wine brings the best of sunny Puglia together in a glass. The grapes are harvested late and the wine is aged for twelve months in French and American oak barrels, providing extra depth and complexity.
In the glass, it shines deep ruby red with purple nuances. The nose is intense and seductive, with aromas of ripe cherries, blackberries, and plums, complemented by notes of vanilla, cocoa, coffee, sweet spices, and a hint of tobacco. On the palate, the wine is powerful and velvety, with a rich fruit concentration, perfectly integrated tannins, and a long, warm finish that lingers elegantly.
