Nose
On the nose sweet red fruits like; red currant, plum, red cherries, lots of cassis, blackberries. Secondary aromas like; spices, hints of vanilla and cedar wood.
-
Palate
On the palate we can taste its a young Primitivo with a bit more red fruits, red currant. Also some dark fruits like blackberries and lots of cassis. The medium strong tannins and high acidity makes the mouthfeel and body feels off.
-
Finish
Medium long finish with cassis and red fruits. The acidity seems to linger and the mouthfeel feels thin.
-
Conclusion
Its a full red but its feels very light and thin as a red wine. It lacks complexity, mouthfeel and balance. A mass produced Primitivo that doesn't give the satisfaction and value a country as Italy deserves.
