The old vineyard of Gran Maestro Primitivo di Manduria

The grapes for this Gran Maestro are harvested by hand and rigorously selected, after which a portion is aged in oak barrels. With the help of renowned Apulian winemaker Beppe, they decided to challenge the king of Apulian wines. And they more than succeeded, because this Gran Maestro boasts a broad bouquet of berries, plum jam, a lovely spice, and hints of cocoa and vanilla. The palate is truly beautiful, full and creamy with a thick finish and refined tannins. Aromas of ripe black fruit, red berries, coffee grounds, vanilla, plums, tobacco, and much more. We won't reveal everything, because this wine has so much to offer that you can savor and describe!

Gran Maestro Primitivo and food

We're often asked what pairs best with this delicious red wine. This full-bodied and powerful red wine lends itself to pairing with dishes featuring red meat from the Green Egg or grilled, pasta dishes with red sauce and, if desired, truffles. A stew, such as game, is also very delicious. It's also a wonderful accompaniment to aged and hard cheeses, such as Dutch aged cheeses and the slightly harder Italian Pecorino. A wine with a wide range of uses.
