Monte Tessa Primitivo di Manduria DOC

Description

• De Grote Hamersma: 'Roasted nuts. A pinch of coffee grounds. Rum bonbons. Stewed plums, ripe blackberries, cherry jam and a wisp of lingering smokiness'
• The wines from the heel of Italy are hugely popular in the Netherlands. That has everything to do with the many hours of sunshine in Puglia. A grape like Primitivo can ripen perfectly here. The Monte Tessa 1890 is made from 100% Primitivo (better known as Zinfandel in the United States) from Manduria. Primitivo di Manduria is therefore a protected designation of origin, a DOP. The vineyards benefit from the cooling influences of the nearby Ionian Sea.
