Papale Linea Oro Primitivo di Manduria 2015

Description

Aromas of rich mixed berry fruit and floral notes open a palate-pleasing mouthful of black juicy fruit--raspberry, currant and cherry--adorned with rich dark, bittersweet chocolate. This is medium-full weight with generous texture. It finishes lengthy with excellent balance, oodles of ripe fruit and plenty of pizzazz. Pour with grilled smoked back ribs mopped with spicy barbecue sauce. Score - 90. (Vic Harradine, winecurrent.com, Oct. 21, 2018)

Tasting Notes

Made with hand-harvested grapes and aged in French and American oak. You can expect a layered, complex wine with prominent blackberry, violet, smoke and anise notes and spicy undertones and plush tannins. This will be a fine match for grilled steaks or smoked ribs.
