Gianfranco Fino Sé - Item Code: 07160
Tasting Notes and Characteristics:
Gianfranco Fino Sé offers a rich, enveloping experience perfect for special occasions or quiet evenings when you want to savor something truly memorable. With an ABV of 16%, this Italian red wine is crafted in Puglia from carefully selected Primitivo grapes, reflecting meticulous vineyard management and low-yield production that amplifies its depth and character.
On the palate, Sé reveals layers of ripe blackberries, plums, and subtle hints of spice balanced by velvety tannins and a lingering finish. Its bold structure and concentrated flavors make it an excellent companion for roasted lamb or aged cheeses, where the wine’s intensity beautifully complements savory richness while its natural acidity refreshes the palate between bites.
Producer Information: Gianfranco Fino
Gianfranco Fino is based in the Salento region of Puglia, Italy, an area celebrated for its sun-drenched vineyards and rich winemaking heritage. The estate was founded in 2004 by Gianfranco Fino himself, who began with a small parcel of old-vine Primitivo and a vision to craft wines that express the unique terroir of southern Italy. From the outset, Fino adopted meticulous vineyard management practices, focusing on low yields and manual harvesting to ensure optimal grape quality. The winery emphasizes minimal intervention in both vineyard and cellar, allowing native yeast fermentations and careful aging processes to highlight the authentic character of each vintage.
Beyond their flagship Primitivo di Manduria wines, Gianfranco Fino’s portfolio includes other indigenous varietals such as Negroamaro and Susumaniello. The estate also produces limited quantities of rosato from local grapes, showcasing the versatility of Puglia’s viticultural landscape. While primarily focused on still red wines, Gianfranco Fino has experimented with small-batch dessert wines using late-harvested fruit for added complexity. Although spirits or beers are not part of their core offerings, their dedication to traditional Apulian varieties has positioned them as a benchmark producer within Italy’s premium wine sector.

Primitivo is a red wine grape variety primarily grown in the Puglia region of Italy and California, known for producing rich, full-bodied wines that can be enjoyed as a varietal or blended. Characterized by its deep flavors of dark fruits such as blackberry and plum, along with notes of black cherry, spice, and chocolate, Primitivo offers a complex tasting experience that appeals to many wine enthusiasts.
The aromas of Primitivo are equally enticing, featuring ripe fruit alongside hints of vanilla, tobacco, and leather. With smooth tannins and a texture that can range from velvety to jammy, this wine pairs beautifully with grilled meats like lamb and beef, hearty pasta dishes such as Bolognese, barbecue fare, and aged cheeses. Its versatility makes it suitable for both casual dining occasions like family gatherings or barbecues as well as more formal events.
