We sampled a variety of Italian primitivo-based wines final 12 months (examine that submit for a dialogue on the origin and character of the grape). Immediately we’re sampling one other primitivo, this one from the identical area in southern Italy, Puglia, as these earlier wines. Let’s give it a strive.
The nostril is a bit restrained, revealing mild notes of plum and nutmeg, however the palate is way more assertive. Right here we discover bolder plum notes, anise, a bit nutmeg, and a little bit of a salty, savory character. The end is medium in size and introduces some satisfying mild tannins. Like many primitivos, it is a meaty wine (albeit with a barely blunt grape juice cocktail be aware), and it ought to work properly with barbecue this summer time.
