Lirica, Primitivo di Manduria, DOC, Italy A food-flexible wine, but pairs well with roast red meats, grills, pasta with ragu sauce. Lirica, Primitivo di Manduria, DOC, Italy is a medium ruby red colour with a pure nose of ripe dark fruits, cherry, plum and sweet spices like ginger and aniseed supported with discreet oak. The palate is round and textured with a well balanced freshness, ending with a long and broad spicy finish.
