Masca del Tacco "Lu Rappaio" Primitivo di Manduria

Bold Primitivo di Manduria from Southern Italy.
Hailing from the sun-drenched terroir of Manduria in Puglia, Lu Rappaio is a powerful expression of Primitivo, one of Italy’s most beloved native grapes. Masca del Tacco crafts this wine to showcase the grape’s natural richness, warmth, and vibrant fruit character — a perfect match for Irish wine lovers who appreciate depth and intensity in their reds. This is a wine that delivers bold flavours without losing elegance, capturing the spirit of southern Italy in every glass.

Why we love it:
Lu Rappaio bursts with ripe blackberry, plum, and dark cherry aromas, layered with spicy hints of pepper and vanilla. The palate is full-bodied and velvety, with lush fruit balanced by smooth tannins and a long, warming finish. It’s an ideal wine to enjoy during Ireland’s cooler months, offering both comfort and excitement in every sip.
