Zolla, Primitivo di Manduria

This wine is ruby red in colour with a violet hue. It has intense aromas of red cherries, blackberries and hints of spice and leather. These aromas follow through on to the palate which is rich and velvety with generous tannins and great length. Excellent with robust pasta dishes and lamb and excellent with game with rich sauces, seasoned cheeses. “Light” and “Stone” : that’s where it all begins in the land of Salento. The “light” penetrates in the secret clefts of the ground with its Mediterranean character, it warms the red color of the soil, draws the scents from the sea and makes the sparse bunches of grapes turn red. The solid, indestructible “stone”, soft and malleable, emerges from the subsoil, gasping for air; it draws the boundary lines on the dry stone and secretly tangles with the Trulli (typical cylinder shaped houses with a conical roof) across the meadows where the trees are hundreds of years old.
