From vineyard to bottle

The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.

If you thought the Zolla wine collection had reached its peak, we have news for you. The prestigious winery now proudly presents the Zolla Primitivo di Manduria RISERVA, an ode to the powerful Primitivo di Manduria grape, and a masterpiece aged for months in oak barrels. The Primitivo grapes for this RISERVA were carefully selected from the Manduria area, located in the heart of the Puglia wine region. This historic area is the birthplace of the Primitivo grape and is home to the region's oldest vineyards. What makes these wines so special is not only the ancient soil structure that serves as a treasure trove for the Primitivo grape, but also the expertise of Zolla's winemaker, a virtuoso with extensive experience in southern Italian wines.

The Zolla Primitivo di Manduria RISERVA is the result of the perfect harmony between nature and craftsmanship. The grapes are grown on the oldest and most fertile vines in Manduria. Here, under the sun-drenched sky, the Primitivo grape flourishes, nourished by both the generous rays of the sun and the cooling sea breeze, contributing to a balanced growing season. This unique combination allows the grapes to absorb all the strength and nutrition from the soil. Each bunch of grapes is hand-picked with love and care, and only the very best find their way into the Zolla Primitivo di Manduria RISERVA bottle.

After the careful harvest, the grapes are transported to Zolla's cellars, where they are transformed into a rare nectar. Here, the wine undergoes meticulous oak aging, using both new and used barrels, to enhance the complexity and depth of this red wine. And the result? A wine that exceeds all expectations: deep aromas of black fruit, subtle spices, and a hint of vanilla.

When pouring the Zolla Primitivo di Manduria RISERVA, you're immediately captivated by its deep, almost enchanting color. We're seduced time and again by the rich aromas of vanilla, plums, stewed cherries, spices, and hints of cocoa and pepper. With every sip of this Zolla Primitivo di Manduria RISERVA, we experience an explosion of flavors: lush black fruit, soft oak tannins, and notes of spice, dark chocolate, and stewed plums. The finish is nothing short of velvety smooth, leaving you longing for that next enchanting sip.
