Varvaglione 2017 12 e Mezzo Made with Organic Grapes Primitivo (Puglia)
Aromas of crushed peppercorn and tilled earth are very quiet on the nose. The light-bodied palate is racy and tart, with a blackberry jam core giving it some weight. The acidity leans a bit harsh and the tannins are feathery light, providing little grip. Alexander Peartree
