From the Murgia IGT appellation, the 2014 Primitivo is a world apart from the expressions of this same grape made further south of here in the Salento area of Puglia. In fact, I initially mistook the grape used here for Aglianico, which would not be a stretch considering how close the vineyards are to the regions of Basilicata and Campania where Aglianico reigns supreme. But this is Primitivo, a grape with radically different aromatic and taste parameters. This interpretation shows stripped down simplicity with austere red fruit and more natural structure than expected. Botromagno delivers excellent value here.
