Felline, Primitivo di Manduria 2021, Italy
Red soil is the most common one in the Manduria area. Its rusty/burnished red colour is due to high levels of iron oxides. It is generally shallow and lies on limestone banks.
Primitivo Felline Terra Rossa is generally harvested through the first week of September. It undergoes a short aging in French barriques and displays the most traditional and typical characteristics of this grape variety: ripe cherry and red berried fruit notes, balance and drinkability with soft and sweet tannins.
There is a strong sense of responsibility within the Felline Family. As top man Gregory Perrucci himself puts it they have “Values, knowledge, traditions and experiences that constitute a precious heritage with which we support our work in the vineyards, in the winery, on the markets around the world. Among the people. We call it Culture, the French say Terroir.” Gregory dedicates himself to Primitivo, to the purchase of interesting vineyards and to modern winemaking techniques, many of which learned during his numerous trips to California. Trips in which he also investigates the link between Primitivo and Californian Zinfandel. Felline is the go-to place for the best for the area’s Primitivos.
