Dodecapolis
Primitivo Salento IGP
The name of this wine recalls the ancient Messapian Dodecapolis, which comprised twelve proudly autonomous city-states - among which Manduria stood out - each with its own political-military organisation and its own sovereign.
From the bush-trained Primitivo vines of Luca Attanasio comes Dodecapolis, an authentic and memorable wine with an impenetrable ruby red colour that anticipates its extraordinary strength. Dodecapolis is an uncompromising wine that strikes for its sincerity, made with a wisdom handed down through generations, indulging nature without any artifice.
Dodecapolis intoxicates with intense aromas of blackberry, cherry and plum fruit. In the mouth it is generous and deep, with enveloping fruity aromas and great structure.
Its balanced freshness has a great final persistence, with notes of cherries in spirit.
Dodecapolis is an extremely dry and well-balanced primitivo in which all the sugar power is transformed into alcohol, breaking down any caramel-like excess.
