Brunilde di Menzione Primitivo di Manduria Riserva is a rich, full-bodied red from Puglia, southern Italy, crafted to showcase the depth and character of the Primitivo grape at its most expressive. Grown using the traditional Alberello bush vine method and aged in oak for a minimum of 12 months, this is a Riserva of genuine structure, complexity, and warmth.
Why You'll Love It
Primitivo di Manduria is one of Puglia's most celebrated appellations, producing wines of remarkable concentration and character from some of Italy's oldest bush vines. The Alberello training system, where each vine stands alone and low to the ground, is labour-intensive and low-yielding by nature, but the reward is fruit of exceptional intensity and depth. Brunilde di Menzione honours this tradition with a Riserva that delivers serious quality at a very accessible price. Vineyard and Production The Primitivo grapes are cultivated using the traditional Alberello bush vine method, allowing the vines to thrive in Puglia's warm, sunny climate and well-drained soils. This low-yield system concentrates the flavours in each berry. Manual harvest takes place at the end of August, ensuring full ripeness and the intensity needed for a wine of this structure. Fermentation occurs under controlled temperatures for approximately 25 days, with extended maceration developing aromatic complexity and a firm structural backbone. The wine is then aged in oak for a minimum of 12 months, adding depth and a subtle spiced undertone.
Tasting Notes
Deep ruby in the glass, Brunilde di Menzione Primitivo Riserva opens with aromas of ripe dark fruit, warm spice, and a hint of vanilla from the oak ageing. The palate is full-bodied and generous, with concentrated dark cherry and plum, balanced spice, medium tannins, and a long, persistent finish that speaks clearly of its southern Italian origins.
Perfect Pairings
A natural match for roasted and stewed meats, slow-cooked lamb, hearty pasta dishes, and mature hard cheeses.
Evidence boundary
This page combines the recorded bottle identity with linked source records. An exact region-name match supplies regional context but does not prove that this bottle carries the protected designation. A vineyard is only shown as bottle-level evidence when a wine-to-vineyard link exists. BottlePicker does not infer a vineyard, soil or site climate from a retailer title.
