4.5 Vivino Stars (650+ Reviews)

Combining Puglia’s intense sunshine and older wines, Cignomoro 80’s Vecchie Vigne Primitivo di Manduria 2019 is a luscious, limited edition red that simply cannot be duplicated anywhere else.

Older vines are highly prized throughout the wine world because they are exceedingly good at “self-regulating”—they naturally produce lower yields, higher quality fruit, and small berries packed with intense flavor and aromas. Ample sunshine is also prized, as the grapes (especially Italy’s Primitivo) need plenty of it to fully ripen into their juiciest, most luscious flavors. Welcome to Cignomoro’s little stretch of Puglia, where they have BOTH of those prized elements! And if you want to understand why both are so coveted, just order up a bottle of Cignomoro’s 80 Vecchie Vigne Primitivo di Manduria Old Vines 2019, take in the ample spice aromatics and impossibly ripe and balanced plummy flavors, and let the pure pleasure of it all take your palate, mind and soul on a spiritual journey to Puglia!
