Lots of fruit. Some tobacco and peppermint. A pleasant Primitivo only. Bem frutado, álcool no lugar, com notas de tabaco e menta. Um Primitivo agradável

Wow! I was expecting more dark red fruits and spice but this wine was very bright and little to no spice. This is a very great red from Italy!

Fabulous Trader Joe’s option. Unexpectedly smooth and deep in color with rich berries bursting on the pallet. At double the price of the Epicuro though, I would choose the Epicuro hands down.

Pizza with Mama Lil's peppers needs a different wine. Too much tang. Still we finished the bottle 😏.

Pretty good, but nothing amazing. A little too bitter for a primitivo.
