INTRODUCTION
The Cru Felline Primitivo di Manduria DOP is grown in the ferric, red soils common throughout the area considered to be the home of Primitivo. The thin layer of ferric-oxide rich topsoil covers the calcareous bedrock. This Cru Primitivo is a classic Primitivo di Manduria, and displays some of the traditional and peculiar characteristics for which it is famous: it is full of ripe red fruits yet it is light on the palate with soft pomegranate tannins.
