Ronco di Sassi 2016 Riserva (Primitivo di Manduria)
This rich, enveloping wine melds savory, spicy accents of tobacco and black pepper with a dense dark-berry and plum core. It's suave and seductive on the palate, with polished tannins and lifted acidity lending structure to the rich fruit. For those looking for a comforting red to enjoy in the cooler months of the year, this fits the bill. Alexander Peartree
