The nose offers layers of black plum, mixed dark berries, fine herbs, and hints of Asian spices and toasty oak. This easy sipping wine has a smooth entry that seamlessly flows into a fusion of dark fruit, creamy vanillin oak and a rich mineral essence. Traces of toasted sage and orange zest appear mid-palate as the flavors brighten.
This nicely balanced Primitivo will pair perfectly with a sage and garlic crusted pork tenderloin, or roast lamb with pomegranate sauce.
