From the Salento region of Southern Puglia, Aromea Puglia Primitivo is aged four months in second-passage American and French barriques. It pours a deep ruby red with garnet and violet hues. The nose is bold and aromatic, with notes of licorice, dark cherry, anise, blackberry, and exotic spice. Full-bodied and silky, the palate reveals layers of chocolate, tobacco, and spice, framed by velvety tannins and balanced acidity. The finish is long and persistent. A perfect match for braised short ribs, lamb shank, pepper-crusted steak, spiced Middle Eastern dishes, aged Manchego, or dark chocolate mousse.
