This was an excellent bottle, so surprised and just so happy I opened last night. Nothing Russian river in style with this wine more Burgundian and very similar to Les Amoureuses, also only $47 per bottle. If you need send me a DM. — 17 days ago

@Delectable Wine This is the CdP Blanc. Sturdy underripe melon and yellow fruit with honey, dried grass, slate, and white flowers. Oily in the mouth - textbook Grenache Blanc flavor profile. Medium - acid...Will be better in a couple of years, but enjoyable now. — 6 years ago

The Orsi Family Wines 2018 offers a lighter than expected nose that hints at its intricate character. With a medium body and high acidity, it strikes a balanced harmony that makes it a versatile choice. The interplay of medium tannins adds depth without overwhelming the palate. The palate is graced with flavors of ripe black cherry, beautifully complemented by a subtle note of white pepper, providing a delightful complexity. This Aglianico is an enjoyable and easy-to-drink wine, perfect for savoring on its own or paired with a fatty dish. — 3 years ago

Papale, Varvaglione, 2021, Primitivo di Manduria DOC, Puglia, Italy 🇮🇹

Overview
100% Primitivo sourced from the Manduria area in southern Puglia, one of the most concentrated and expressive zones for the grape. This DOC expression highlights the naturally rich fruit, depth, and intensity that Primitivo develops in the warm Mediterranean climate.

Aromas & Flavors
Ripe blackberry, dark plum, and black cherry with subtle notes of cocoa, sweet spice, and dark fruit preserves. Deep and intense with a slightly inky character.

Mouthfeel
Full-bodied with medium-plus tannins and dense concentration. Bold and structured yet approachable, with a subtle astringency that adds grip and balance.

Food Pairings
Braised meats, grilled steaks, lamb dishes, hearty ragù pastas, aged cheeses.

Verdict
A powerful and expressive Primitivo that embraces the bold character typical of Manduria while maintaining drinkability.

Did You Know?
Primitivo di Manduria is one of the most prestigious expressions of the Primitivo grape. The warm climate and old vines in the region often produce wines with higher alcohol, deeper color, and richer concentration than Primitivo from other areas of Puglia.

🍷 Personal Pick
A bold and character-driven Primitivo that showcases the depth and intensity of Manduria fruit while remaining approachable. — 4 months ago
