Masseria La Volpe Uno Primitivo di Manduria DOC Riserva Premium Edition 2021

Der Primitivo di Manduria Riserva Premium Edition aus der Serie Uno des Weingutes Masseria la Volpe ist der Flagship-Wein dieser Linie. Ein erhabener Primitivo von einzigartiger Qualität. Die Trauben werden von Hand geerntet und schon im Weinberg vorselektiert. Das garantiert, dass nur die besten Trauben für die Edition verwendet werden. Die Lese findet bewusst erst Anfang Oktober statt, um eine höhere Geschmacksintensität der Trauben zu gewährleisten. Der Grund dafür ist, dass die Trauben auf natürliche Weise bereits einiges an Flüssigkeit verloren haben und so viel intensiver und konzentrierter sind. Dadurch entsteht nach der Gärung und Reifung auch der hohe Alkoholgehalt. Neben einer 12-monatigen Reifung im Eichenfass, reift der Wein für mindestens weitere 12 Monate auf der Flasche.Im Glas zeigt sich ein dunkles Rubinrot mit einer fast schwarzen Mitte. Der Masseria la Volpe Primitivo di Manduria Riserva Premium Edition duftet Intensiv nach reifen Früchten, wie Pflaumen, dunklen Kirschen und Brombeeren, sowie Pfeffer. Aus der Fassreifung entstehen leicht süßliche Gewürznoten. Der Geschmack ist kräftig und intensiv mit würzigen Anklängen, dazu Lakritze, Tabak und Vanille. Der Wein zeichnet sich durch eine großartige Ausgewogenheit aus, wobei die extrem reichhaltige und reife Frucht perfekt mit Säure und Tanninen harmoniert. Im Abgang unglaublich lange präsent.Der Masseria la Volpe Primitivo di Manduria Riserva Premium Edition passt wunderbar zu Rindfleisch, reifem Käse oder zu einem Abend vor dem Kamin.
