Tenuta Giustini di Papadopoli Salvatore, Via Roma Snc fraz. Z.I., 74027 - San Giorgio Ionico (TA)
It is called Patù and is, technically, a Salento IGP from pure Primitivo grapes. In the winery's intentions, Patù is a 'Primitivo with character'. A tribute to the roots of the Papadopoli family, for four generations at the helm of the Giustini winery, whose ancestors of Greek origin settled in the past in the heart of Salento to dedicate themselves to farming life. A wine that astonishes for its harmony and envelopment, it comes from a manual harvest of the best Primitivo grapes, starting in the last ten days of September. Once in the cellar, the grapes are selected, destemmed and pressed. This yields the must, which is left to macerate with the skins and then undergoes alcoholic fermentation. This process lasts for about 10-12 days. Once the transformation is complete, the wine is then refined for a few months in steel tanks before being bottled. Only after a further resting period in the cellar, then, is the wine ready to go on the market. Deep ruby red in colour, the nose reveals an unmistakable aroma of well-ripened red fruit. In the mouth, however, it proves to be a wine of great character and good structure. Although it is pleasantly robust, however, its fruity character remains evident. It is the wine recommended with savoury first courses and, above all, roast meat.
Wine: a family affair. At least for the Papadopoli family, Apulian producers who are justifiably proud of their origins. The winery is located in a middle land, between the sea of Taranto and the heights of the Valle d'Itria. Here is San Giorgio, a small town that falls within the Primitivo di Manduria DOC area. And it is here, for no less than four generations, that the family has handed down traditions, experience and passion for wine from father to son. The seed was planted in 1991 when Giuseppe Papadopoli, after spending years managing the vineyards of some of the most productive companies in the area, felt that the Apulian wine market was changing. Thus the first hectares were purchased, marking a turning point. The name chosen was that of the district of the first vineyards, Giustini precisely. From then on, from label to label, from success to success, the activity of the fine Taranto company has never come to a halt. And the good wines on offer today are there to prove it.
