The Riserva “Elegia” is the Primitivo di Manduria that best represents the Apulian grape variety in the sign of richness and intensity. The Primitivo grape corresponds to an ancient Slavic variety, the Crljenak Kaštelanski or Tribidrag, and shares the same DNA as the Californian Zinfandel. The name derives from its early maturation, which requires harvesting between the end of August and the beginning of September. The Riserva comes from the vineyards of the Produttori di Manduria estate, which are over 50 years old and produce with low yields of 60 quintals per hectare of high quality grapes. The vineyards, part bush-trained and part trellised, have a density of about 4000-5000 vines per hectare. The presence of many historic plots allows for the selection of the best grapes each year, consistently producing excellent wines. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel at controlled temperatures, and the wine rests in French Allier oak barriques for 12 months before being bottled.
