Manduria, Puglia, Italy
Oaky, earthy, with hints of lemongrass on the nose. This is a very interesting primitivo. I’m giving it a little bit of time to open up but it hasn’t changed much. It tastes of blackberry & earth, which as you can imagine, is what makes it an interesting wine.

Feb 4th, 2019Woody. Spicy. Raspberries. Black pepper. Powerful. Also, the heaviest bottle I've ever come across!

Nose of red fruit particularly cherries. Lots of blackberry on the nose also.
Strong taste of blackberry and cherry.
Short finish and well-integrated tannins

Delicious wine, I just prefer something a little less sweet. The lemongrass is very interesting

Love this wine. Big bold, but not obnoxious. Smooth tannins.DARK fruit, tobacco. Not at all jammy. Super heavy bottle for some reason

Big and rich with a bit of oak. Fruity- plums and blackberry and some pepper. Tannins were smooth and the wine had such a full, round feel. Excellent.
