Varvaglione Linea Oro Primitivo di Manduria

On the nose, it shows tempting notes of cloves, sweet liquorice, ripe cherries and currants. This fine wine from vineyards located on the Gulf of Taranto in the Ionian Sea is round and velvety on the palate, with a good texture, a great elegance and an aromatic, prolonged finish.

The wine comes from the estate’s oldest vineyards, whose history dates back to the beginning of the 20th century. The collaboration with numerous regional grape producers makes it possible for the winery to express the impressive terroir of the Gulf of Taranto in Apulia in its wines.

The dark ruby-red Varvaglione Papale Linea Oro Primitivo di Manduria matured for at least ten months in oak casks. The “Papale” was launched in 2011 on the occasion of the Vigne & Vini estate’s 90th anniversary.

You’ll enjoy discovering this shining example of Southern Italian viticulture.

Varvaglione Vigne & Vini

Die Familie Varvaglione arbeitet seit 1921 in der Weinbranche. Firmengründer war der Großvater des heutigen Inhabers, des Önologen Cosimo Varvaglione, der das Unternehmen zu internationalem Erfolg führte. Und auch die vierte Generation ist schon im Unternehmen tätig. Tradition, Erfahrung und modernste Kellertechnik, sowie die Liebe zum Wein bilden erklärtermaßen die Grundlage ihrer Weinherstellung. Das Unternehmen hat seinen Sitz in Leporano im Salento, der Halbinsel im Süden Apuliens, dem „Stiefelabsatz“ Italiens.

Cosimo Varvaglione legt den Schwerpunkt auf die traditionellen, apulischen Rebsorten Primitivo und Negroamaro, Malvasia, Aglianico und Verdeca, sowie Chardonnay als internationale Sorte. Varvaglione kultiviert diese Rebsorten auf 135 ha Rebfläche und arbeitet zusätzlich mit zahlreichen Winzern der Region zusammen. Der Önologe glaubt, dass die beiden wichtigsten Rebsorten Apuliens, Primitivo und Negroamaro, das Zeug zur internationalen Spitzenklasse haben. Die Auszeichnung mit drei Gläsern des Gambero Rosso bestätigte seine Einschätzung.

Bekannt wurden die Weine der Familie Varvaglione durch den Primitivo 12 e Mezzo Der Name bezieht sich übrigens auf den Alkoholgehalt von nur 12,5 Vol.%. Mit dem renommierten Papale Wein feierte man im Jahr 2011 den 90. Geburtstag des Unternehmens. Der „päpstliche“ Wein wurde benannt nach dem Weinberg, aus dem die Trauben stammen. Dieser war früher im Besitz der Familie des Papstes Benedikt XIII.
