Drink it now or cellar for up to 20 years. It is recommended to decant it for an hour. The Apulian winery Varvaglione is a family business, founded in 1921 and now in its fourth generation. Located in the town of Leporano, in the province of Taranto, the company produces excellent wines using primarily indigenous varieties, with grapes sourced from its 150 hectares of estate-owned vineyards and others purchased from trusted partners. Primitivo di Manduria Riserva is one of the winery's most representative and iconic wines, a tribute to the winemaking and family traditions that began in the 1920s. After harvesting and fermenting at a controlled temperature in wood, the finished wine rests for 1.5 years in large barrels before being further aged in stainless steel for another 9 months. In the bottle, the wine reveals an intense and deep garnet red color. Its aromatic profile is broad and expressive, with fragrant notes of ripe fruits such as black cherries, wild berries, and plums, and hints of dried figs, vanilla, cloves, and black pepper. On the palate, it is soft, concentrated, and elegant, with a velvety texture and silky tannins. It is powerful without being opulent, with a long, warm finish that evokes light spicy notes. Try it with braised game.
