Rich, sun‑ripened Primitivo from the heart of Manduria
Sampietrana's Carlone Primitivo di Manduria is full of ripe black cherry, black plum and a touch of bramble jam, layered with hints of spice and sweet tobacco. On the palate it’s soft and generous - think dark berry fruit, a whisper of dried fig and a gentle savoury edge. The tannins are smooth and the finish lingers with warm spice and depth.

"Primitivo is the Italian name for Zinfandel. This one is a treat if you like a big red wine. There’s lots going on here. Dark, brooding, savoury, plummy, fig and vanilla spice. Rich and full bodied. Great with roast red meat."
Cantine Sampietrana is a cooperative in Manduria, Puglia, known for producing robust, traditional styles of Primitivo. The vines grow in the region’s well‑drained, limestone and clay soils, under hot sun and cooling sea breezes — perfect for crafting wines with both weight and freshness.
Carlone Primitivo di Manduria 2022 is made entirely from Primitivo grapes harvested at peak ripeness. Fermented in stainless steel with controlled maceration for colour and softness, it sees no new oak — just stainless-steel ageing to maintain purity and ripeness.
This is hearty, unapologetically Italian Primitivo — generous, full‑flavoured and crowd‑pleasing. A bottle to open when you want comfort and personality in every sip.
