Antico Palmento Chiodi di Clove Primitivo di Manduria D.O.C. 2020

“Chiodi di Garofano” is a wine with an intense ruby ​​red color with violet reflections.
The aroma is fruity, broad and complex. There are hints of berries, plums and dried figs softened by delicate hints of sweet spices and marzipan.
On the palate it conquers with good tannin supported by an important alcohol concentration. Robust wine, with good complexity, expresses the most authentic characteristics of the vine.
Its grandeur suggests pairings with structured first courses, roasts, braised meats and medium-long matured cheeses.
