Description
The DOC of Primitivo di Manduria down in the heel of Italy has officially been recognised as the traditional home of this popular grape for decades now and the Produttori still produce some of the best examples around. This Lirica is made from their top selections of grapes, grown by from local producers with small parcels of organically grown and handpicked grapes. John Kirwan, the famous All Black, has a love for all things Italian, starting with his Italian wife, found it to be perfect for his selection of fine Italian wines to bring to New Zealand, and we heartily agree.
Smells
sensual aromas of cinnamon and spice, tar and rose petals giving way to red liquorice, violets, and sandalwood.
Tastes
typically, Primitivo’s can be big, dark brooding beasts which need to be decanted, but not this wine…. In fact, it reminds me aromatically of Nebbiolo from the far North, Piedmont with notes of roses and tar, and the palate has charm, charisma, and elegance. Fragrant, floral, forest floor flavours underpinned by red cherry stone notes are interwoven with fine grain, structure-giving tannins. Excellent balance and poise and a pleasure to the senses. Too delightful to not drink now but will cellar well in the correct storage conditions for 4-5 years. The perfect partner for roasted red meats cured meats and pasta.
We taste, rate & guarantee every wine we sell.
