In the heel of Italy, Manduria is considered the birthplace of the native Primitivo grape, and was officially recognised as such in the 1970s when a DOC was created for the region.
Produttori di Manduria had been making wines for 40 years by then, unashamedly proud of their deep affection for Primitivo. As well as making high quality examples of Puglia’s most famous vinous export, this leading producer is well versed in producing fascinating wines.
The primitivo grapes come from a vineyard planted with 15-35 years old vines, they train the vines in the espalier system with vines planted at approximately 4000/5000 plants per hectare. Harvest, by hand is carried out in the second half of August.
Electric Bee Primitivo wine undergoes a traditional red wine fermentation without any oak ageing to retain that beautiful freshness. Very intense and incredibly complex, this beautifully crafted wine has an aroma reminiscent of ripe cherry, plum, and blackberry, yet retains a delicate freshness and softness on the palate. Enjoy with hearty and meaty pasta dishes with rich red sauces.
