Tormaresca 2019 Torcicoda Primitivo (Salento)
Plenty of vanilla and spice up front on the nose of this Primitivo, which stays floral and savory, like eating a steak in a rose garden at twilight. The palate feels lush and round even if the tannins are still rigid and surrounded by notable heat—an impressive balancing act. Danielle Callegari
