San Marzano Primitivo di Manduria Talò

A great Primitivo

I tried the 2013 vintage in a local restaurant and loved it, so I bought two cases from Italvinus (and I would have given the 2013 a full 5 stars). I have re-stocked with the 2014: it is still great, but maybe not quite as luscious as the 2013 - and 4.5 stars was not an option! This is a full-bodied and intensely fruity wine, which complements grilled meats, pasta and cheese. It is also excellent value for money.

Every wine rack needs a primitivo and this is a good example.

Every wine rack needs a primitivo and this is a good example. Dark. Very dark. Almost broody. Deep purple colour. Fruity aromas - including one strange smell which I'm yet to identify (is it tar?). Concentrated taste of plum, blackberry and dark chocolate. Bold fruit, average tannins and average acidity. I paid significantly less than the average price shown here. A good value primitivo. More please.

Nicely drinkable

I like this primitivo.. very smooth drinking wine Very enjoyable with meats and hard cheeses and without food at all.. very drinkable

Incredible wine and great value

I got this bottle as a taster to try it and it is a wonderful primitivo. Very easy to drink on it’s on or with some grilled meat

Smooth jammy primitivo

Beautiful smooth and jammy smelling wine. Lovely and soft textures in the mouth and long lasting finish. I highly recommend.
