Here's a dark, soft and velvety red wine to pair with sausage or grilled meats. The 2015 Primitivo di Manduria Sangaetano is a bright and youthful wine that offers lots of primary fruit. It also shows a good amount of spice and smoke thanks to a six-month period in American oak.

The 2012 Primitivo di Manduria Sangaetano is an enjoyable and cheerful expression that delivers generous extraction and plump aromas of dark fruit, spice, chocolate and cinnamon. Like the other wines from Cantine Due Palme, the oak influence is very evident. But I argue that it tastes great next to the supple ripeness of the fruit. Sangaetano shows soft contours and rich, berry flavors.

Light-footed and supple, this well-balanced red shows a hint of burnt pudding that lends a smoky base to the flavors of plum sauce, dried strawberry and aromatic herbs and spices. Drink now through 2019. 15,000 cases made, 700 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Italy / South / Puglia / Primitivo di Manduria Select to Add
