A nice treat, high in ABV (15.8%) but the balance masks it. Cranberry, cherry, and jammy fruit on the nose. Tannins are in check, tempered oak, med-long finish w/ an earthiness that reminds you of the old world. Thanks Dean & Deluca for the hook up.

Gobs of fruit that somehow feel candied and intense without feeling like too much stuffing.

Aromas of cherry, cranberry, and earth. Tongue coating tannins. Paired nicely with our pasta.

Beautiful wine. Fruit forward with a hint of oak and leather. Long finish with subtle soft tannins. Very memorable wine! Enjoyed with tagliatelle alla bolognese.

Jammy fruits with vegetal spice on the nose. Great pairing for Italian and Mexican dishes. Some 15.8 ABV heat.

Very fruity with big, chewy tannins. A nice wine to go with our simple spaghetti dinner.

Tää taisi olla ensimmäinen tietoisesti juomani Primitivo. Meni heti suosikkiviinieni listalle. Huikea nautiskelupunkku. Onks Alkossa muuten hyviä Primitivoja?

This is so delicious. So deep in flavor. Full of berry. My kind of 'cocktail' wine.
