Preferable to Italien food (Pizza).
Strong wine with fruit and cedar wood taste.

Full, ripe and with nicely integrated oak. Lovely characters of ripe plums, mulberries & black cherries. Lovely example.

A very distinctive Primitivo flavor.
Not too heavy.
Good chose to break the Cabernet - Merlot routine.

Delicious, interesting wine. Some sweetness and hints of almonds, while overall intense depth. Happy to discover this one.
