Drank 5/22/21
Brought by Giuseppe Muscella
This blend of Negroamaro, Cab Sauv, and Primitivo had a particular Italianness to it. Gaminess out of the bottle followed by raspberry and blackberry jam, black olives, and licorice after breathing. My aunt mentioned an Ester component to the aromas.
Strong acidity and fruit followed by soft tannins. Finish was ok and body was light in comparison to acid and fruit. However, a very good table wine that held up to lasagna and pork adobo with cauliflower rice. A very good, affordable “food” wine— “which I find common for Southern Italian wines. But not as complex or memorable as Giuseppe’s personality.
