This Di Capriamo Primitivo di Manduria is a towering achievement from the sun-drenched vineyards of Puglia, offering a visceral and hedonistic experience that demands attention.
On the nose, it explodes with an extravagant bouquet of crème de cassis, blackberry liqueur, and macerated black cherries, seamlessly interwoven with nuances of scorched earth, espresso roast, and exotic Indian spices. It is a full-bodied, viscous powerhouse that coats the palate with layers of succulent, jammy fruit and velvety, ripe tannins that provide remarkable structure without a hint of graininess.
The mid-palate is remarkably dense and concentrated, showing a baroque richness reminiscent of a high-end Amarone, yet it maintains its Mediterranean soul with a streak of crushed stones and dried herbs. The finish is long, opulent, and heady, marked by a final flourish of dark chocolate and toasted vanilla. This is a massive, unapologetic red that should provide immense pleasure over the next 5 to 7 years.
