Primitivo di Manduria F79 2022 (Tinazzi)

Cellar for up to 10 years. Decant to a drinking glass for 10 or 20 minutes. Tinazzi is a family business, spanning over 50 years and three generations. The winery was founded in 1968, through the determination of Eugenio Tinazzi. Ownership has since passed down to his son Gian Andrea, who is joined żeby his two children, Giorgio and Francesca. From relatively humble beginnings, a single estate on the shores of Lake Garda, Tinazzi has become a company in a state of constant growth. They have acquired several estates and cellars all across Italy, including a stake in Puglia, home of the large, robust Primitivo. This 2019 Primitivo is a deep ruby red, bursting with flavours of bold black fruits. It has an intense nose, with notes of plum, dark cherries, and spicy cinnamon. The red soils of the Taranto region combined with its scorching sun have produced an undeniably potent grape. This is a warm and filling vintage, with excellent structure and a long, enveloping finish. It can be relished immediately, or cellared for further aging. Enjoy it with a hearty meal to match this red's full body, such as a tomato-rich pasta dish, beef, or lamb.
