This wine has won mass appeal in Puglia. It is ubiquitous in local wine bars and restaurants. The 2013 Primitivo di Manduria Riserva 62 Anniversario offers easy appeal and irresistible characteristics for those who like the soft and voluptuous side of oak-aged red wines. It reminds me of the extracted wines prized ten years ago or more. If you are keen to identify territory or variety-driven typicity, this wine offers less on those two fronts. However, there is a lot to say here. The wine is plump and ripe with bold cherry and cinnamon that are harmoniously fused together. The wine might evoke a moment of nostalgia in you as it did in me.
