2016 Tormaresca ‘Torcicoda’ Primitivo Salento IGT

WSI93 A joy to drink! Lithe body with firm pliable tannins, dark cherry and plum notes and a great saline component that lifts the finish. Great paired with prosciutto, olives and hard cheeses.
WS90 Well-balanced and fresh, this medium-bodied red features a thread of ground spice that underscores flavors of crushed black raspberry, cherry, thyme and red licorice. Light tannins sculpt the clean-cut finish. Drink now through 2025.
Winemaker notes: The 2016 vintage of Primitivo is an intense ruby red with light purple highlights. On the nose, aromas of black cherries and wild blackberries are followed by delicate hints of vanilla and licorice. The palate is ample and supple in the beginning, then balanced by an enjoyable freshness and a fruity finish and aftertaste.
