Tasting Note: With a history dating back to 1665, Leone de Castris has a rich and long-standing winemaking tradition. This complex Primitivo shows notes of licorice, plum and dried fruit. The palate is dry, rich and layered, with a spicy tone and a very long, herbal-nuanced finish. Try it alongside a jambalaya with smoked sausage or gourmet hamburgers with gorgonzola cheese.
