Pezzale is an elegant Primitivo di Manduria DOP Riserva. A super intense wine that encapsulates all the expressive power of an enchanted land. The result of a pure processing of Primitivo grapes, this Salento red wine begins its journey with a long phase of skin maceration that lasts about 12 days. The whole time the mass of skins is kept in motion, with frequent délestage in stainless steel vats. At the end of vinification, the necessary maturation takes place in first-passage French oak tonneaux. Here it rests for about a year, before being bottled and left in the cellar for a further 6 months for final ageing. Produced in about 4,000 bottles, this elegant Primitivo di Manduria Riserva presents itself in the glass with an intense ruby colour, with garnet hues. The nose reveals great intensity and good complexity of ripe red fruit, interspersed with spicy and mineral nuances. In the mouth it offers a perfect balance between elegant tannins and lively freshness. Full-bodied, it guarantees a long taste-olfactory persistence. Try it with first courses rich in flavour, roasted and braised red meats.
