Fantini Giro Primitivo 2016
Possibly the best red wine I have had the pleasure of drinking for a long time.
This elegant and splendid red wine, ruby red colour with purple reflections, on the nose, ripe plums and cherries. On the palate it is warm, harmonious and full. An ideal accompaniment to pasta.

The Primitivo grape is a speciality of Puglia, where the warm Mediterranean sun coaxes the fruit to full, rich ripeness, giving the wine a smooth and intense flavour. This is a beautifully balanced example, with poise and refinement despite its full-bodied style. It has an intense bouquet of ripe dark berry fruits, with blackcurrants, blackberries and black cherries bursting through on the palate.
The vineyards of the Primitivo DOC Manduria lie between the towns of Manduria and Avetrana, deep in the Salento territory of Puglia, down in the heel of Italy. The wine spends 12 months in American oak barrels.
