Manduria is treated as the birthplace of the variety, and the local DOC was created in the 1970s to recognise that identity more formally. ‘Elegia’ sits at the richer, more serious end of the producer’s range: a Riserva made from 35 to 50-year-old vines, trained as alberello bush vines and on spalliera, then aged for 12 months in French Allier oak barriques. It is Primitivo with weight, polish and tradition behind it – dark-fruited, spicy, generous and unmistakably Mandurian.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect With...
