Discover Gianfranco Fino Sé:
Gianfranco Fino Sé is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of winemaking in Italy’s Puglia region. This particular expression is a Primitivo di Manduria, a varietal known for its robust character and profound depth. The grapes are sourced from old vines, some over 50 years of age, which contribute to the wine’s concentrated flavors.
Upon engaging with Gianfranco Fino Sé, one is immediately struck by its intense ruby red hue with hints of garnet that suggest both vitality and maturity. The nose is greeted with an intricate bouquet where ripe red fruits intermingle with subtle undertones of sweet spices and vanilla, hinting at the careful aging process in fine oak barrels.
On the palate, this wine unfolds in layers. The initial impression is one of richness and warmth, characteristic of Primitivo grapes basking in the southern Italian sun. Notes of blackberry jam and plums are prominent, followed by nuances of tobacco and cocoa that add complexity to each sip. The tannins are velvety yet assertive—a signature trait that provides structure without overshadowing the wine’s natural vibrancy.
The finish lingers long after the last taste, leaving behind a trace of mineral undertones reflective of Puglia’s terroir—a mix of dry earthiness balanced by a saline edge due to proximity to the Adriatic Sea.
Producer Notes: Gianfranco Fino Viticoltore
Gianfranco Fino Viticoltore is a renowned name in the world of Italian wines, hailing from the sun-drenched region of Puglia in Southern Italy. This producer has carved out a niche for crafting exceptional wines that truly reflect the terroir of this area, known for its rich soils and Mediterranean climate.
One of Gianfranco Fino’s most celebrated creations is the Primitivo di Manduria. This red wine, made from the Primitivo grape, is a favorite among connoisseurs for its robust flavors and deep ruby color. It’s like tasting a piece of Puglia’s heart with every sip—full of ripe fruits and hints of spice that dance on your tongue.
Another standout drink from Gianfranco Fino is their Negroamaro. This wine comes from a grape that loves to soak up the sun just as much as beach-goers do on Italy’s southern coast. It offers a taste that might remind you of dark cherries and sweet earth, all wrapped up in a velvety texture.
