A sultry, seductive wine with a full, soft flavor. That is what characterizes the Conte di Campiano Primitivo di Manduria. But what a treat this is! It starts with the aroma: lots of ripe red fruit, such as blackberries and cherries, but the wine also has something spicy on the nose. The color is a sultry dark ruby red. In the glass, you can see how concentrated the wine is. Take a sip of this wine and you taste the sun-baked red fruit of a typical Southern Italian Primitivo: fruity, soft tannins, and full and powerful in flavor. A beautiful, harmonious wine with an intense finish.
This Primitivo di Manduria pairs beautifully with spicy pastas and red meat. On a cheese board, it is an excellent combination with aged and blue cheeses.
Conte di Campiano was founded in 1930 and remains family-owned under the leadership of oenologist Paolo Contri. The hand-picked grapes come from the area near Taranto and Brindisi, Puglia. They use heavy wine bottles to demonstrate that this is a quality wine.
The Primitivo di Manduria is released Puglia, the heel of Italy. The wine is made from one of the most famous local grapes from this region, the Primitivo. This region is called Manduria and has had its own label of guaranteed origin, DOP Primitivo di Manduria (Protected Designation of Origin), since 1974. It is an authentic wine with a character all its own. The wine comes from the eponymous municipality of Manduria in the Taranto region. The region is located close to the Gulf of Teren, which is a northern part of the Ionian Sea. This gulf provides a wonderfully cooling breeze, which is very favorable for the development of the Primitivo grapes in Manduria.
If you are looking for a richer, fuller red with an abundance of body, look to Puglian Primitivo. Primitivo tastes of dark fruit such as fresh figs, blueberries, and baked blackberries. It also has a distinct character of dried fruit leather. The word Primitivo does not mean primitive in Italian, but actually means early ripening, as these grapes accumulate a lot of sugar early in the season. Due to the early ripening, the resulting wines are big, lush, and full of fruit. However, the fascinating thing about Primitivo is that the grape clusters sometimes ripen unevenly, so that the green grapes are harvested together with the ripe ones.
