Very deep red in color turning almost purplish. The nose reveals a rich perfume of plum, black cherry and also spices as ginger and vanilla. On the palate it is full bodied and velvety and well balanced. Enjoy with grilled meats, baked pasta or pasta with hearty sauces, and ripe cheeses.

"Juniper berries, grilled herbs, liquorice and walnuts frame the sweet bramble fruits at the core of this refined Primitivo. Smooth and pliant, but by no means overdone, it's cheek-puckering savoury elements and assertive tannins add to its sense of poise. Blackcurrant and dark chocolate linger on a velvety finish. Drink 2023-2030."
