Salento Primitivo IGT "Es" 2022 - Gianfranco Fino

Dark ruby red, it expresses a kaleidoscope of sensations and aromas in the nose. These are enveloping notes which reflect ripe fruit, also in jam, and oriental spices. Myrtle, cherry, plum, cocoa, vanilla and coffee. A trace of citrus them opens up to an intense, full and generous palate, the alcoholic softness of which is perfectly balanced by a well-defined acidity and unsuspectable freshness. Very long and smooth, it closes with a finish that returns powerfully to fruit. Unforgettable.

Served with all courses of a meal, Gianfranco Fino's "Es" is an ideal red wine for accompanying great red meat dishes, either grilled or stewed.

According Freud, "ES" is instinct and unbridled passion, the same things that go into making this wine: without conditions, without rules, beyond space and time, logic and morals. ES is subject to one principle only: pleasure". This is how Gianfranco Fino describes his most representative wine, a complete and completely absorbing Primitivo di Manduria, capable like no other of combining elegance and concentration in a continuous chase between acidity and warmth. Open and generous, Gianfranco Fino's Primitivo di Manduria DOC is the result of an attentive selection of the bunches collected after leaving them to wither slightly on the vine, vinified in steel and left for nine months to age in new and second-use barriques.
