Vespa

This small “boutique” winery owns just 25 hectares of vineyards planted in the iron-rich red soils of Manduria, the spiritual homeland of the Primitivo grape variety. While Primitivo is grown across the region of Puglia, it’s in Manduria where it achieves its greatest expression. Thanks to the unique soils found there and the maritime influence of the nearby Ionian Sea (a stone’s throw from the estate), Cotarella is able to craft deeply flavored, rich expressions of Primitivo that retain wonderful freshness and acidity.

Il Rosso dei Vespa Primitivo di Manduria DOC

Vintage 2021

RED
● 100% Primitivo

A wine that is a full expression of the potential of Apulian nature, the Rosso dei Vespa combines the traditional character of Primitivo di Manduria with the fresher and more pleasant notes of the younger products. The two souls of this vine are linked: powerful and complex but at the same time pleasant and slender in its drinkability.

The nose opens with a large and intense floral bouquet, enriched with notes of morello cherry and cherry. On the palate, it is fresh and velvety, with an excellent balance that accompanies towards a harmonious and persistent finish.
