Ghenos Primitivo di Manduria DOC 2017 - Torrevento

The Ghenos Primitivo di Manduria of Torrevento from the Italian wine region of Puglia is a full-bodied, grape-varietal and aromatic red wine.

In the glass, this wine shines in a deep ruby red with garnet red highlights. The nose enjoys an intense, full bouquet that reveals lush aromas of juicy Amarena cherries, candied orange peels, floral notes of roses and spicy vegetarian nuances of leather, coffee and vanilla. On the palate, this Italian red wine convinces with a wonderfully densely woven tannin structure, which wonderfully complements the full-bodied body. The aromas of the nose are also reflected and harmonize very well with the acid-sweet play. The finale comes with a pleasant length and chocolate nuances.
