THE STORY

About this wine

Full-bodied Primitivo from Manduria and Sava, in Puglia, held in stainless steel until bottling — deep, dark ruby, jammy blackberry with violet, chocolate and pepper, and the 2022 adds ripe cherry, plum, cocoa and vanilla. Warm and soft in the mouth, with a powerful, persistent finish.

Le Vigne di Sammarco is a Rizzello-family winery whose first small winery was established in 1972. The estate reports 200 hectares of land, with 120 hectares planted, and focuses on native Salento varieties.

Worth knowing

The vines are trained alberello — low, free-standing bush vines, about 5,000 plants to the hectare. Harvest falls in the second ten days of September, the grapes macerate on their skins for six to seven days at 25 to 26°C, and the wine then rests in stainless steel until bottling.
