Let’s talk about 1921 Primitivo di Manduria Riserva DOP - Varvaglione

More questions

The 1921 Primitivo di Manduria Riserva DOP by Varvaglione is an oenological gem that captures the essence of the Primitivo grape in one of its best expressions, Apulia. This reserve wine, named after the year the winery was founded, is a true tribute to Italian winemaking tradition.

The color is an intense ruby red with garnet reflections, signaling proper maturation both in the barrel and in the bottle. On the nose, the 1921 Primitivo di Manduria Riserva offers a complex and enveloping aroma of ripe red fruits, plums, notes of tobacco and chocolate, enriched by a slight spicy hint of vanilla and black pepper. On the palate, the structure is robust yet harmonious, with well-balanced tannins and a long persistence that leaves a pleasantly bitter and spicy aftertaste.

Ideal for pairing with rich dishes like roasts, game, and aged cheeses, the 1921 is a wine that can be enjoyed immediately or left to age, acquiring further nuances of taste and complexity. A true delight for lovers of robust and characterful wines.
