【Product Story】

Around the area of Manduria, there is an ancient residence surrounded by an old bush vine vineyards of Primitivo older than seventy years “closed” by a wall. In France some of the best vineyards are closed by walls; in fact in the past Cistercian monks used to separate – or close – with walls some vineyards when, tasting the soil, they perceived changes in its mineral composition. Grapes coming from those “closed” vineyards – or “Clos” from the French – would have had a different qualities and would have been the maximum expression of those soils. Taking up this tradition, Felice Mergé becomes the promoter and executor of “closed vineyard project”, emphasizing that small area through the production of a new wine: “Piano Chiuso” Primitivo di Manduria Riserva, the best expression of a territory with not very well known origins.

【Tasting Notes】

Deep and bright ruby red with an idea of garnet shades, of great consistency. Very complex on the nose with sensations of wild berries and cherries in alcohol, then violet and fern, black pepper and cloves, on a bottom of graphite and cocoa powder, everything framed by a strong balsamic air. Great in the mouth, where power and elegance compete for the scene, where freshness and sapidity give it a fantastic drinkability, while tannins gently caress the palate preparing it for a neverending persistence.
