The 2006 Primitivo Tarabuso reveals a darker, richer profile than the Uva di Troia Bottaccia, with aromas of smoke, licorice and herbs that complement the ripe, generous fruit. The wine possesses outstanding density and depth, not to mention superb balance, particularly at this level. It is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2011.
Torre Quarto is an excellent source for value-priced reds made from native varieties in Apulia.
