Primitivo di Manduria Dolce Naturale

Wine · PDO · 19 municipalities

Recognised as a DOCG since 2011, Primitivo di Manduria Dolce Naturale is a naturally sweet wine crafted from 100% Primitivo grapes grown across 19 municipalities in Puglia, including Avetrana. What distinguishes this denomination from other regional styles is its strict mandate for a minimum total alcohol level of 16.0% vol (with at least 13.0% vol actual alcohol). Producers cannot use the term "Riserva" on the label, and the wine is barred from release before June 1st of the year following the harvest. This yields an intense red wine with plum aromas and a characteristic velvety, sweet flavor.
