The "Ghenos" Primitivo di Manduria DOC by Torrevento is a wine that exemplifies the power and generosity of Primitivo, a vine that finds its ideal habitat in the Puglia region, and in particular in the Manduria area, to express itself at its best. The Torrevento winery, with a profound knowledge of the territory and a constant commitment to quality, produces "Ghenos" as one of its flagship labels, making the most of the peculiar characteristics of this vine loved for its aromatic richness and its structure robust.

The Manduria area is renowned for its red ferrous soils and warm, sunny climate, conditions which allow Primitivo to ripen perfectly, concentrating sugars and aromas which translate into wines of great intensity and depth. The "Ghenos" Primitivo di Manduria DOC is produced with carefully selected grapes, coming from old vineyards which guarantee a low yield per vine but a superior quality of the fruit.

After the harvest, the grapes undergo controlled fermentation, followed by aging in oak barriques which harmonizes the aromatic and gustatory profiles of the wine, adding notes of complexity without stifling the natural expressiveness of the Primitivo.

The result is an intense, almost impenetrable ruby ​​red wine, which opens on the nose with a rich and complex bouquet. Notes of ripe red fruit dominate, such as plums and blackberries, enriched by nuances of sweet spices, vanilla, chocolate and a touch of tobacco, the result of the elegant passage in wood.

In the mouth, "Ghenos" reveals itself to be full, warm and enveloping, with a well-present but ripe and velvety tannic structure. The balance between acidity and alcohol is remarkable, giving the wine a surprising freshness despite its richness. The flavors of ripe fruit and spicy notes intertwine in a long and persistent finish, which leaves a pleasant sensation of warmth and fullness.

Ideal in combination with rich and structured dishes, such as grilled red meats, roasts, game and mature cheeses, the "Ghenos" Primitivo di Manduria DOC by Torrevento is an excellent choice for lovers of intense and complex wines, representing an authentic expression and high quality Primitivo di Manduria, one of the jewels of Apulian viticulture.
