Primitivo di Manduria is a DOP red wine appellation in Puglia, southern Italy, made from the Primitivo grape — genetically identical to California's Zinfandel. Grown in the warm, sun-drenched vineyards around the town of Manduria near the Ionian coast, Primitivo di Manduria produces rich, full-bodied red wines with ripe dark fruit flavours of blackberry and plum, notes of dried fig and spice, and often a noticeable warmth from relatively high alcohol levels. The region's hot climate and ancient bush-vine vineyards, some over a century old, contribute to the concentration and intensity found in many Primitivo di Manduria wines. A sweeter, fortified style called Primitivo di Manduria Dolce Naturale is also produced in the region, though dry styles are more widely available. Our Primitivo di Manduria collection offers bold, generous reds perfect for those who enjoy rich, fruit-forward wines. These bottles pair wonderfully with grilled and roasted meats, rich tomato-based pasta dishes, and aged cheeses — classic southern Italian fare that matches the wine's warmth and intensity.
