The much-desired firstborn

From journalism to winery, Bruno Vespa makes the big leap and becomes a producer in Puglia, in the splendid setting of Salento, together with the help of his friend and winemaker Riccardo Cotarella. Futura 14 is a very young reality from Puglia that focuses its production on the redevelopment of the historic vine of this land, the Primitivo, which in Manduria finds 4 hectares all for itself but not only, the grapes are also used for the production of two other reds, in addition to some Negroamaro vineyard that gives birth to the classic rosé Method sparkling wine. Primitivo Raccontami is at the top of the typology, the first project conceived by Cotarella to inaugurate the journey in the wine world of the Vespa family, the favorite and irreplaceable first-born that in this year received the prestigious recognition of the 5 Grappoli di Bibenda.

Very bright ruby red, with purple reflections and transparent nuances, of great consistency. Rich and variegated aroma of ripe red fruits and Mediterranean scrub: cherry jam, raspberry jelly, laurel and mint, combined with aromas of coffee, licorice and cocoa. The taste confirms the nose, with a precise freshness and sinuous tannins, held together by the masterful caloric support of softness that leads to a long finish, characterized by pleasant cocoa and sweet spice returns.

Ideal accompaniment with a baked lamb shin.
