The Primitivo Rosato Aka of Produttori di Manduria is one of the 100% Primitivo wines of this cooperative winery, for which this grape variety represents the fulcrum. The cooperative, founded in 1932, is now made up of about 400 members who cultivate 1000 hectares, half of which in Primitivo. The plants on which the clusters destined for the rosé grow are between 20 and 40 years of age, and are grown in the espalier, on calcareous tuffaceous soils of medium texture. The grapes harvested at the end of August undergo a skin maceration of 8-12 hours, then ferment at a controlled temperature and refine in stainless steel vats.

PRIMITIVO ROSATO AKA PRODUTTORI DI MANDURIA: TASTING

The Primitivo Rosato Aka by Produttori di Manduria has a beautiful intense and bright coral colour. The nose is captivating, with fragrant notes of fresh cherry, pomegranate, wild strawberries and raspberry, accompanied by hints of china and refreshing notes of liquorice and pink pepper. In the mouth, it is juicy, fresh and savoury. Fantastic with the greedy tarantini panzerotti, as with the buffalo tomato and sausage pizza, or with the Martina Franca capocollo.
