Score: ✧✧✧✧ |
The wine shows a deep ruby red color and nuances of garnet red, little
transparency. The nose denotes intense, clean, pleasing and refined aromas
that start with hints of blackberry jam, black cherry jam and prune
followed by aromas of dried violet, vanilla, tobacco, tamarind, nail
polish, chocolate and mace. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose,
a sweet and tannic attack, however balanced by alcohol, full body, intense
flavors. The finish is persistent with flavors of blackberry jam and prune.
Primitivo di Manduria Passione ages for 8 months barrique and in
earthenware containers.
