Profile & Story
Cantine Menhir Salento produces Primitivo-based wines from the Salento subregion of Puglia. Quota 31 is drawn from vines around 35 years old, undergoing thermal pre-fermentation maceration and temperature-controlled fermentation, with partial aging in barrique.
Tasting Notes
The wine shows a bouquet of black berries and ripe cherries with spicy hints, and a mellow, round palate carrying a pleasant touch of herbs.
Pairing Recommendation
Recommended with cold-cut antipasti such as capocollo and soppressata di Martina Franca, cured Faeto ham, pasta with red-meat ragù, roasted lamb or rabbit with wild thyme and barbecued potatoes, and medium-aged to seasoned cheeses like caciocavallo podolico.
