Masseria Li Veli, Orion Salento Primitivo 2023

Southern Italy, Red Zinfandel

Dense ruby red with a purplish rim, it is immediately intense on the nose with marked aromas of ripe and fleshy red fruits, notably cherries followed by spicy notes of cinnamon and nutmeg; in the mouth it is full, powerful, smooth and very long, with a well-defined acid streak which makes it fresh and pleasing. 

This is a crowd-pleasing, lip-smacking, easy drinking wine that would be perfect alongside something meaty like slow cooked pork, Italian-style meatballs or smoked brisket. In general, Primitivo pairs best with Grilled Vegetable Pasta, Pizza Rustica, Spaghetti Bolognese, Pasta Puttanesca, Eggplant Parmesan, Chicken Cacciatore, and Lamb Curry.
