Pietraventosa Primitivo Gioia del Colle 'Allegoria' 2021
$47
This is the second Primitivo from Pietraventosa here and you might think why that is. Well in both blind tasting brackets, this wine was chosen in our top two wines of the lineup! Clearly they are working wonders down in Italy's boot.
Deep purple in the glass, it looks like it's going to be a mouthful but there is so much life to this wine. As stated for their entry wine, Primitivo can often either look like a New World full bodied red or uninspiring but here it present as both Italian and an excellent example of the region. Ripe blueberry, blackcurrant, cola, black licorice and an earthy undertow. Silty tannin and bright acidity lift the back palate effortlessly. A level up from the Volere Volare. Jeremy Muller, FWC.
