Description
There is a continued evolution in the Primitivo of Puglia: wines once known for their tannic, robust nature are now earning a reputation for greater refinement and finesse. An increased sophistication in the approach to winemaking, both in the vineyard and the winery, has given rise to wholly new expressions. This one falls into this modern caste and will offer you ripe black fruit and earthy notes with vanilla and spice. An ideal choice for meaty pasta dishes with tomato-based sauces.

Tasting Notes
Deep plushly ripe purple and black plum aromas on the nose with some blueberry jam on the palate. It's full-bodied and dry with layers of voluptuous dark fruit. Perfect for meat lovers' pizza and meat sauce pasta. Primitivo food pairings: veal scaloppini in a sun-dried tomato sauce. Drink: 2013-2016. Score - 90.
