Varvaglione dal 1921 Primitivo di Manduria DOP Papale ORO 2020

Papale ORO is like the "big brother" of Varvaglione's beloved Primitivo Papale, with differences that go beyond just price. It boasts more concentrated, robust flavours thanks to careful grape selection and extended ageing, making it even denser and stronger than its "little brother."

It’s no surprise this wine is a top bestseller, especially among fans of bold, quintessential Primitivo from Apulia.

In the glass, it reveals a deep, dark red colour with nearly impenetrable purple hues, rich and oily. On the nose, it’s spicy, with hints of liquorice and vanilla, a bouquet of red berries, and roasted aromas of cocoa and coffee. If this brings a smile to your face, this wine is a must-try.

On the palate, it’s juicy, powerful, and densely layered. Full-bodied with a touch of fruity sweetness and silky tannins, it delivers warmth and depth. If there were a category for "winter wines," this Primitivo would be a top contender.
