Terragnolo Salento IGT Primitivo
You don't see 16-yr-old Primitivo every day. Still has plummy fruit & cedar notes.

May 2nd, 2016Told the oenophobe boyfriend to grab a bottle of Primitivo. Not wanting to disappoint the oenophile girlfriend, he came home with this and I could tell from the second I opened it, it would have a beautiful spice and finish. Boy did it. Yum yum yum. We had it with a honey-glaze roast chicken and it was utterly seductive!
