Leone de Castris 2019 Il Medaglione Primitivo (Salento)
Best Buy
A dense black-cherry aroma meets lightly toasted fennel seed and violet on the nose. It's plush and well textured on the medium-bodied palate, with broad, rich flavors of mixed dark berries bolstered by juicy acidity and velvety tannins. A berry jam flavor extends on the finish, but with lift and verve. Alexander Peartree
