Deep purple and dark as night in the glass. The 2021 Primitivo Torcicoda opens with an earthy blend of black currants, flowery underbrush and rubbed sage. It’s soft and enveloping with ripe wild berry fruits and sweet spices that slowly saturate. This leaves a staining of licorice and savory herbs to linger as a bump of residual acidity maintains a lovely freshness. The balance here is something to behold, especially considering its 15.5% abv.

A balanced red with a toasty edge, alongside light, supple tannins well-knit with notes of crushed mulberry, baked damson plum and flattering details of red licorice, dried thyme and milled pepper. Fresh and appealing. Drink now through 2026. 4,000 cases imported.
