Talò Primitivo di Manduria DOP, as per specifications, monovarietal Primitivo. Made from grapes cultivated close to the sea, it is a full-bodied red wine where its minerality and balsamic components can be perceived, as well as the elegance of the tannin and the explosion of fragrant red fruit, typical of the best-known Puglian variety in the world.
