Pietraventosa 'Volere Volare' Primitivo 2021
$39
A tiny organic estate on the limestone hill of Gioia del Colle in Puglia. The two Primitivo's we tried from Pietraventosa were superb! Both combined the generous, sunny disposition of Southern Italian reds with the perfect level of freshness.
Here, their entry level wine Volere Volare, had a lovely nose of ripe mulberry and dark plum with a touch of balsamic (think of the high quality stuff). On the palate this continued with cherries thrown into the mix and dusty, earthy tannins adding intriguing savouriness. Whilst ripe fruits are upfront there's energy and freshness that lifts the wine beautifully, making you want to come back for more! Jeremy Muller, FWC.
