Vini Menhir - Quota 29 - MAGNUM | Salento IGT
Red wine | Italy, APULIA | 2022
Intense red with purple hues. Very fruity, soft, southern, full-bodied and spicy red wine. Very aromatic, with characteristics of ripe red fruit (cherries & blackberries) and a hint of pepper. The taste is full with a warm flood of overripe perfumed fruit, a little bit of residual sugar and a long fruity aftertaste.
With this cuvee, this winery mainly wants to get to know the fruit in Primitivo instead of presenting powerful over-concentrated wines.
