Tasting Notes: Attanasio is a rare producer of Primitivo di Manduria. These wines boast a hot climate gravitas–ripe red fruit, a juicy full body, and boozy swagger–while still retaining the refreshing salinity of the nearby Ionian Sea. Winemaker Alessandro Attanasio farms just seven hectares of old Primitivo bush vines. If your parents are big on Napa, this is the perfect segue into the vast world of Italian wine. Attanasio’s Primitivo di Manduria bursts with plum, black cherry, cacao nib, and tobacco.
