Primitivo di Manduria

SKU: 14947
We can't get enough of the primitive that Bollina produces in Italy. This one has an insane 98 points from Luca Maroni and comes from Manduria, a small region in the heel of the boot known for variety. The fruit is harvested by hand and made a little late to increase concentration, potency and wealth. There's blackberry, cherry and plum with a backbone of tobacco, mocha and cocoa. This is not wine for the faint of heart, but rather for those who want something thick and dark in their glass.

The name of this wine symbolizes the Dodecàpoli Messapica.

The twelve autonomous city-states were a real political-military organization with its own king and its own laws, but they all belonged to the Messapian civilization. Almost all of them were surrounded by walls and dominated by the acropolis where the palaces, the temples of the deities and the agora, the people's square, the market and the meeting squares stood and also included the surrounding area with the villages, the military outposts and ports, in addition to the countryside destined for cultivation and grazing.
