Vespa 'Il Rosso dei Vespa' Primitivo di Manduria DOC 2022 ron-ingenio-manacas including Fort ChampagneA full flavoured style. Deep maroon in colour, this has a powerful nose with notes of warm earth, leather, chocolate, black fruits, black olives and bay leaves. Quite spicy, there is good concentration throughout, while never losing focus over a lingering finish with very fine if slightly grainy tannins. Enjoy now and for the next six to eight years. Food Match Beef, pasta, lamb and poultry.
