The Primitivo di Manduria DOC "Passo del Cardinale" by Paolo Leo is a red wine that embodies the essence of the Apulian territory, characterized by its robust intensity and deep aromas.
The Primitivo grape, one of the most representative of southern Italy, finds in Paolo Leo one of its most faithful interpreters. The manual harvest, followed by a long maceration and controlled temperature fermentation, enhances the varietal peculiarities of this grape, which then matures in wooden barrels for several months before bottling.
With an intense ruby red color with violet reflections, the "Passo del Cardinale" offers a rich and complex bouquet to the nose with hints of ripe fruits such as plum and black cherry, complemented by touches of vanilla and sweet spices due to wooden aging. On the palate, it is vigorous yet harmonious, with an alcohol content perfectly balanced with its marked tannic structure and a pleasant aromatic persistence.
It pairs splendidly with robust meat dishes such as braised and roasted meats, or aged cheeses. Also perfect for accompanying an evening of conversations by the fireplace, this wine proves to be a precious choice for those who love intense and memorable reds.
Every sip of the Primitivo di Manduria "Passo del Cardinale" is a homage to the winemaking tradition of Manduria, offering a sensory experience that celebrates with dignity the richness and passion of Apulian wine.
