Professional Review: A wine sourced purely from Primitivo grapes grown and harvested throughout Lizzano, Torricella and Taranto. The long maceration of the skins provides a rich extraction and an intense, deep ruby red color with a particular aroma of blackberry and plum. The smoothness of its palates amazes as its flavor whole and persistent with a pleasant sweetness in the end. An ideal complement to meats, game and cheeses.
My Review: I actually did not get anything on the nose for this wine. I kept swirling and swirling and warming it up but nothing. In taste, I got hints of sweetness on the front palate. It was a little dry and a bit higher on the tannins. I had this wine at a tasting without a meal.
