Showing great balance and intensity, the 2012 Primitivo is a modern and sweet expression of one of Puglia's most prolific and popular red grapes. The bouquet reveals dark cherry, chocolate and candied almond. The cherry tones are definitely in center stage. There isn't a great amount of complexity, but the wine delivers plush fruit flavors and soft tannins that would pair next to lasagna or other oven-roasted pasta dishes.
