Description
What kind of wine it is
Primitivo Gioia del Colle Marpione Riserva by Tenuta Viglione is an organic red wine with a deep ruby colour, a true expression of the Gioia del Colle region. On the nose, it releases clear scents of morello cherry, wild blackberry and blackcurrant, intertwined with notes of tobacco, black pepper and Mediterranean scrub. On the palate, it is structured, standing out for its remarkable fruity persistence. Each sip offers hints of liquorice and a fresh, pleasantly balsamic finish. This richness of flavour enhances braised lamb, mature cheeses and hearty first courses, and is also surprisingly good paired with chocolate.
Where it comes from
This wine is produced in Apulia, in the Gioia del Colle area, a region renowned for robust red wines. Tenuta Viglione, a family-run estate founded in 1967, operates according to strict organic farming practices to protect the landscape. Only the grapes from the oldest plots are selected, focusing on vines capable of expressing the authenticity of the region. This dedication results in a glass that embodies the true identity of Primitivo, preserving the depth and elegance that distinguish wines of great stature.
How it is produced
The process begins with a rigorous manual harvest, selecting only bunches at perfect ripeness. After gentle processing, the wine matures for at least twenty-four months in large traditional Slavonian oak barrels, consolidating its structure without compromising the freshness of the fruit. This is followed by four months in small French oak barrels, before completing its evolution with six months of bottle ageing. This careful management of time and wood leads to perfect aromatic harmony, offering an intense, persistent sip with extraordinary balance.
History and Curiosities
Tenuta Viglione encapsulates almost a century of family dedication in this majestic organic Primitivo, produced from the oldest and most prized plots of Gioia del Colle. The Apulian estate, founded in 1967, embraces a strict sustainable philosophy to enhance the authenticity of the region. Under the guidance of oenologist Tommaso Pinto, the Marpione Riserva 2021 stands out for its extraordinary elegance and structure, outstanding qualities confirmed by the prestigious Tre Bicchieri Gambero Rosso. A multi-award-winning wine that offers an intense and highly captivating sip.
