Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, medium tannin, medium acidity, dry
A ripe Salento red blending Primitivo with Negroamaro, the classic pairing of the Puglian heel: Primitivo for sweet-fruited weight and warmth, Negroamaro for the darker, faintly bitter twist on the finish that keeps it from cloying. Full-bodied and generous, with black plum and blackberry jam over dried fig, cocoa and vanilla oak spice, soft tannin and gentle acidity.
