1525533 vigne vecchie leggenda primitivo magnum 6243

Sensory features: The Vigne Vecchie Legganda series is the highlight of the Vigneti di Salento. It is produced from hand-picked Primitivo vines, which are over 70 years old and yield a correspondingly small yield of high-quality berries. The Primitivo Vigne Vecchie has an intense ruby colour. The fragrance shows complex aromas of dark berries, plums and cherries with nuances of tobacco and fine herbs. The body is juicy and full, but on the other hand also fruity and rich in fine tannins. A high-end Primitivo , which has received numerous medals and awards over the last years.
