12 e Mezzo Primitivo del Salento

3 months in American oak.
Not my style of Primitivo.
The oak is intrusive.
Too coconuty and tannic(from the oak)
12.5% in alcohol
Meant for aperitif

A much needed big pour! It’s been a very long week! After an hour decant this wine is so silky smooth and very fruit forward. TGIF!

It’s like chewing on jolly ranchers. 12 e mezzo is the amount of hours of heartburn you will get.

Cherry and Plum jamming to great tunes!

Great bottle for $13 CAD!

not my thing

Intense fruity aroma with some plum and cherry notes. Slightly spicy as well a bit sweet with some hint of vanilla. Great wine!

Bright red in color.
Fruit forward nose with plums, cherries and raspberries yet light.

Medium bodied.

Semi sweet on the Palate with cherries, blackberries, blueberries, vanilla, oak, dirt and forest floor.

Medium finish with soft tannins and spices.

12.5 % alcohol by volume with nice legs.

Aromas of cassis, based cherry/raspberry, vanilla, licorice.
