Vespa 2017 Il Rosso dei Vespa (Primitivo di Manduria)
Aromas of mixed berry preserves and fig are lifted by accents of pepper, violet and tar on the nose. There's a pleasing vibrancy to the palate, with lively acidity brightening flavors of jammy berries and orange rind. The tannins are fine yet copious, giving a structured frame to this immensely food-friendly wine. Alexander Peartree
