On the nose, expect ripe cherries, plums and blackberries and a hint of tobacco leaf and roast meats. The palate offers juicy dark fruit richness, smooth tannins and refreshing acidity, producing a vibrant, modern style of Primitivo. For food pairings, try it with tomato based pasta, grilled meats, pizza, hearty Mediterranean dishes or even

ripe dark fruit flavours mingling with gentle spice and a lingering mineral or slightly peppery finish
