really liked this, hadn't heard of this varietal - ended thinking it tasted like Pecorino. straw colored, lovely nose of citrus & white flowers, waxy, herbaceous, a wild element, even some tropical fruit as it warmed, med bodied, silky yet vibrant acidity, more mineral on palate but still w/fruit from nose... persistent finish. what a treat! bump for QPR — 7 months ago
Very mature intense primitivo wine, aged in oak for 7 year — 2 years ago
All I wanted to drink all night with fresh tomatoes, mozzarella & pizza. Lots of wet earth/upturned soil/underbrush stuff (pastures, orchards, woodlands) happening on the nose. Rich balsamic/tomato paste/umami mid-palate. Baked / dried / brandied cherry finish. Soft tannins. Acid has mellowed out a bit but is still ⚡️ — 3 years ago

Pretty similar colour . On the nose a little more herbal and a little less intensity than the Ovello , with some sous bois and sea side hints . On the palate this is slightly more reserved and less tannic , little less rustic , a little more elegant perhaps . Touch of mint on the finish . Ok length . This is a little simpler than the Ovello overall, and will probably need drinking sooner . Drink now and over the next 5 or so years — 6 months ago

Finally a drinkable Primitivo.
With vibrant acidity, balancing the dark sweet plums. Balanced, vibrant, juicy, avoiding the jammines, cloying sweetness and cooked chocolates fruit.

Pop and pour yesterday. Lovely Gavi. Sea salt and cotton candy florals on the nose. On the palate: excellent acidity and density, lovely salt and lemon notes and a clean finish. Unfussy and yumny. — 5 years ago
Mid Ruby in colour. Aromas of menthol. On the palate again, virtually no fruit at 15 years - ultra savoury with sandy, tarry, fine powdery, yet persistent tannins. This was a great match with Roast Lamb for Mother’s Day in Australia. No. 3086 of 10,000 bottles. Jancis’s tasting note back in 2012 said “this would make a great introduction to mature Nebbiolo “. — 5 years ago
