2020 | Varvaglione Vigne & Vini srl | 12 e Mezzo Primitivo del Salento

This deep-red Primitivo shows blood, cherries, a touch of prickly pear and a hint of particle board on the nose. The palate brings in vanilla, nutmeg and a hint of candied orange, all settled into juicy berries and plush tannins.
