Story and Longevity

ELEGIA is the “Riserva” selection from Produttori di Manduria, made exclusively from grapes sourced from old Alberello vines, which guarantee low yields and high concentration. The aging in French oak barriques for one year adds complex tertiary notes. This Primitivo di Manduria is built to last, with an aging potential of **8-10 years and beyond**, where the tannins will soften further.
