Vinous, 90 Points 

"There’s a minty freshness that wafts up from the 2020 Primitivo as it evolves in the glass, revealing aromas of black cherry, dried roses and hints of oregano.  It’s soft and fleshy in feel, nicely contrasted by zesty acids, tart woodland berries and a salty minerality that mounts toward the close.  Sour red fruits and a twang of citrus linger long through the spicy, mouthwatering finale.  Masserie Pizari packed a ton of zesty Primitivo character into their 2020 vintage release." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Intense ruby red with purple reflections.  Rich, intense, ripe fruit on the nose.  Full, enveloping, harmonic, excellent structure on the palate." 

Alcohol: 14%
