Cellar
Produttori di Manduria is the oldest cooperative in Apulia.
The Cantina's adventure began in 1928 when a small group of 'enlightened' wine growers took over an old factory and created the 'Wine Federation', an association of producers that four years later, on 9 July 1932, formalised its legal status as a cooperative with the establishment of the 'Consorzio Produttori Vini e Mosti rossi superiori da taglio per la zona di Manduria'.
Today, the Cantina has around 1000 hectares of vineyards, half of which are still cultivated using the traditional alberello system, and strenuously defends the work of 400 small wine craftsmen, the only ones who can boast the appellative of Maestri in Primitivo.
Description
Lirica Primitivo di Manduria DOC from the Apulian winery Produttori di Manduria was produced from Primitivo grapes, hand-picked in the first ten days of September. It is a wine
full-bodied and intense, matured in large oak barrels.
Organoleptic characteristics:
It has a ruby red colour with garnet nuances. The nose is intense and elegant, with clear hints of ripe dark fruit, cherry, plum, chocolate and sweet spices. In the mouth it is dry and full-bodied, softly caressing the palate with good consistency and elegant tannin, accompanied by a pleasant and harmonious freshness. Rather long and ample finish.
Storage time:
5-7 years
Vinification
Alcoholic fermentation at temperatures not exceeding 25°C.
