As others have mentioned, it’s on the sweeter side with plenty of vanilla. Easy drinking, light on tannins and a touch Christmassy (nutmeg or cinnamon?); fairly rich but low acidity. Needs a little breathing first for an hour or so. I’d drink again. With Tracey.

Great organic Primitivo. Typical of a full bodied wine from the Puglia region. Big bold flavours with a silky smooth texture. Great value

Spicy aroma. Black fruit and brambles. Dry not astringent. Warm feel like mulled wine. Slight clammy and spicy. Port like finish. Moss aroma after a while. £10 retail can get for £6-7 good value. Not everyday drinking wine.

2015 vintage. Aroma of red cherry, kirsch liqueur, slightly earth. Smooth mild tanins. Short flavour basic fruit, nothing complex but it doesn't need to be as a thoroughly enjoyable fruit-orientated wine. Went well with chilli con carne, cheese & creme fraiche.

A real favourite. Beautiful ripe Primitivo fruit with the richness & concentration from the Appassimemto. Silky tannins and lovely acid balance. Different & delicious.
