Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 30 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Italian
Ingredients: 1 bottle Primitivo di Manduria "60 anni" 2022 (bottle); 4 to taste Large wine glasses (Bordeaux-style); 1 to taste Decanter (optional); 500 ml Filtered water (for palate cleansing); 300 g Cured meats and aged cheeses (suggested pairing); 1 loaf Crusty bread or grilled crostini (optional)

Med Bag of Chips

Ham, cheddar cheese, fresh tomatoes, and arugula.

Ham and Cheese Sandwich

Sliced turkey, lettuce, tomato, and mustard in a whole wheat wrap.

Fit Turkey Wrap

Check the bottle for any damage and confirm the vintage and alcohol (Primitivo 14.5%). Chill the bottle slightly to serving temperature: aim for 16–18°C (60–64°F). If the wine is warmer than this, place it in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes; if cooler, remove from fridge 15–20 minutes before serving.

Inspect and chill

Assess whether to decant. This Primitivo is concentrated and may benefit from gentle aeration. If the bottle has visible sediment or is tightly closed, decant slowly: stand the bottle upright for 30–60 minutes prior to opening to let any sediment settle. Open the bottle and pour into a decanter in one steady motion, watching for sediment as you near the end. If you prefer minimal aeration, simply open and pour directly into glasses.

Decanting

Use large Bordeaux-style glasses that allow the wine to breathe. Pour about 120–150 ml per glass (roughly a standard tasting pour) for 4 servings from one bottle. Hold the glass by the stem, pour gently to avoid splashing, and rotate the bottle slightly at the end of each pour to prevent drips.

Pouring

Serve each glass at 16–18°C. Take an initial sniff, then swirl the wine to release aromas. Taste for primary notes (ripe black fruit, plum, blackberry), secondary characteristics (spice, dried herbs, possibly tobacco or cocoa), tannin structure, acidity, and finish. Allow the wine to open in the glass over 10–20 minutes for fuller expression.

Glass temperature and tasting

Offer cured meats (soppressata, prosciutto), aged cheeses (Pecorino, aged Manchego, Parmesan), or hearty dishes (braised beef, grilled lamb, rich tomato-based pasta). Provide crusty bread or crostini and filtered water to cleanse the palate between sips.

Pairing suggestions

If you do not finish the bottle, re-cork and store upright in the refrigerator. Use within 2–4 days for best quality; more prolonged storage will degrade the wine’s aromatic intensity and freshness.
