awarded 89/100 points & 4 stars: Candice Chow, Raymon Chan Reviews Jan 2021

"Deep, ruby-red with a black hue with little transparency, lighter on edge. The nose is vibrant and full, rich aromas of prunes and cherries melded with spices and liquorice, underlined alcohol power. Medium-full bodied, succulent aromas of prunes and cherries have concentration and freshness, subtle spices linger on the finish. The palate is filled with ripe tannin grip with black tea fragrance, added texture, and lively acidity to a sleek dry finish. Match with venison and lamb over the next 3+ years. Primitivo grapes from Salento, Puglia. Fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, Jan 2021

Food Pairing: Savoury first courses, red meat and game, mature cheese.

2 x Varvaglione 12 e Mezzo Puglia Organic Primitivo 2018 (Italy)

Intense red Organic Primitivo wine with violet hints, reminiscent of fresh red fruit. On the nose, fruity notes of currants and blackberries elegantly join an aromatic bouquet of nutmeg, liquorice, chocolate and vanilla, released after a brief refinement in French oak. This is supported by a slightly acid structure that makes it balanced and long, leaving the palate full of coconut and fruity notes

Food Pairing: It perfectly matches with pasta, white meat and fresh cheese.
