Vintages Wine Panel: The partnership of Rocca Delle Macìe & Terre di Sava has created six exciting expressions of the terroir of the Salento region using the indigenous grapes. The Mandus Primitivo di Manduria is one of this union’s two high-end offerings and delivers aromas and flavours of blackberry and coffee. Medium bodied and tremendously well made. My note: Superb for the money! Full-bodied purple plum richness… smooth and satisfying. Perfect for BBQ ribs and chicken wings. Yum!

Primitivo Di Manduria food pairings: grilled meats, game, aged cheeses.

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
