The vineyards are located on the plains surrounding the city, on soils of clay and typical \"terra rossa,\" a red earth rich in iron, with a calcareous subsoil beneath. The vines are planted as \u003cem\u003espalliera\u003c\/em\u003e , a form of wire-supported vines that allows the grapes to receive plenty of sun and ripen well. The vineyards of Cantine Pliniana are located entirely in this area and are almost entirely devoted to red grape varieties, with Primitivo as the absolute star. The harvest for Juvenis takes place in September, when the grapes are perfectly ripe but still retain their freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"1587\" data-end=\"1612\"\u003e Vinification and maturation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1614\" data-end=\"2196\"\u003e After entering the cellar, the Primitivo grapes for Juvenis are rigorously selected to ensure only healthy and ripe fruit is fermented. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, a method that helps preserve the ripe fruit aromas and color. The wine then continues to age in tanks, allowing the aromas to develop and the structure to become round and harmonious, without the oak overpowering the flavors. The alcohol content is around 14%, which perfectly complements the ripe style and full mouthfeel of this Primitivo di Manduria.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"2198\" data-end=\"2221\"\u003e Grape composition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2223\" data-end=\"2338\"\u003e Juvenis 2022 is made entirely from Primitivo di Manduria, so 100% Primitivo from the Manduria region of origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"2340\" data-end=\"2371\"\u003e Tasting notes and serving suggestions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2373\" data-end=\"3107\"\u003e In the glass, Juvenis 2022 is a deep ruby red with purple glints along the rim. The nose immediately reveals ripe red and black fruit, with notes reminiscent of wild blackberry, ripe raspberry, and other ripe fruit flavors. The palate is full and smooth, with abundant ripe fruit in the middle, a rounded structure, and a harmonious, inviting finish. The tannins are present yet ripe, ensuring the wine remains supple and the finish is warm and generous. Serve Juvenis preferably between 16 and 18°C (60-64°F) and, for best results, decant it an hour before serving. At the table, this Primitivo di Manduria is particularly at home with grilled red meat, lamb dishes, rich stews, game, and robust, aged cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Poot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43979440816207,"sku":"8010768004044","price":10.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/CantinaPlinianaJuvenisPrimitivodiManduriaDOP2022.webp?v=1768920543","url":"https:\/\/perfectewijn.nl\/en\/products\/cantina-pliniana-juvenis-primitivo-di-manduria-2022","provider":"Perfecte Wijn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
