Cantine Pichieri 1999 Traditione del Nonno (Primitivo di Manduria)
As the name suggests, this is traditional southern Italian winemaking: high alcohol, roasted fruit with a pruny-raisiny note and a full mouthfeel. Dried spices, chocolate and coffee notes round out the flavors. Serve at the end of the meal with assertive cheeses.
