CAPO ZAFFERANO - Primitivo di Manduria - Puglia - Italy
Intense deep red colour, almost impenetrable. On the nose, red berries with hints of vanilla, toasted notes and spices which give complexity to the bouquet. The great tannic structure is perfectly balanced on the palate and in aftertaste as well. Pair with grilled meats and mature hard cheeses. Vintage in image may vary. Refer to wine facts for current vintage.
