Top level primitivo in a very affordable price. Beautiful bright dark red with shades of purple. Medium to full body. Low but we'll felt acidity. Mildly aromatic, nice mixture of oak and fruits. Rich and addicting on the palate - plum, blackberries, blueberries, vanilla, tobacco, cinnamon, anise and more. Wonderful wine.

- Medium forming legs and aromas of blackberry and cherry and has flavours of strawberry jam, licorice anise and violet - Excellent primitivo. Yes, it is on the sweetish side. Pair It accordingly. It's very fruity, high in alcohol and complex. Will not go with anything - definitely not your ordinary pasta on tomato sauce.

Quite ambivalent I am about this one. On the one hand it has the traits of the primitivo wines made to please a palate loving abundant, fruity sweetness. The bottle is even that heavy type that when it is empty still weighs as much as a normal full one and that, for some reason is typically in use by winemakers who adore this style of pure juice like wines. On the other hand this does have certain vinous qualities akin to some excellent Gioia del Colle wines that are really enjoyable in their aromatic, floral flavours. I just cannot decide. Each sip starts with this sweet, jammy touch, which I do not appreciate a lot, and then quickly develops intense tastes of dark berries with floral impressions, even with some acidity, which I like a lot. Ambivalent impressions result in an ambiguous rating: not a "good enough" 85, not a "wow, I like this" 93, but a "I'm not quite sure" 89.

Really nice very fruity well rounded wine with almost no tannins. Thick. Prunes. Peppery. Black currant.
