Tasting Notes
A rich and generous southern Italian red with a deep ruby colour and purple reflections. The nose is ripe and expressive, offering aromas of black cherry, plum and blackberry, followed by notes of dried fig, sweet spice, cocoa and a subtle hint of vanilla and Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, it is full-bodied and smooth, with soft, velvety tannins, warm fruit concentration and a long, rounded finish.
Food Pairing
A classic food-friendly Primitivo, ideal with hearty and flavourful dishes. Perfect with grilled meats, roasted lamb, barbecue, rich pasta dishes and aged cheeses. It also pairs beautifully with traditional Mediterranean cuisine.
