Villa Santera
Primitivo di Manduria DOC
At sight it is deep red, almost purplish. The nose reveals a rich perfume of fruity hints as plum and sour black cherries and also spices as ginger and vanilla. In the mouth it is warm, full and velvety. Very good with grilled meat, tasty baked pastas, ripe cheese. Serve at 16-18°C
