Paololeo Primitivo di Manduria D.O.P. Passo del Cardinale in tube

Primitivo di Manduria D.O.P. Passo del Cardinale comes from the winery Paololeo in San Donaci.

This excellent wine is made from Primitivo grapes grown from Apulian vines in the vineyards of the Manduria area (Taranto). The grapes, harvested in the first week of September, are pressed and then fermented in stainless steel containers at a controlled temperature.

Finally, as a result of the fermentation processes, Passo del Cardinale aged for 3 months in American oak barrique barrels and 6 months in steel tanks.

The excellent quality will surprise you with its body and balance along with a subtle elegance. We recommend serving at a temperature of 18 °C. It pairs well with red sauces, roast meats, cheeses, mushrooms, and game.
