Vespa Bruno Primitivo Salento 2022

From Puglia, this is what we would call Zinfandel, and it is done well. One slightly jarring note – synthetic cork? Really? Blood red in colour, the nose provides an array of aromas, with savoury notes to the fore. We have beef stock, spices, mushrooms, dried herbs, animal skins, cranberries and mulberries. This is a full-flavoured and powerful style with firm tannins and punchy acidity. Enjoy it for at least the next eight years.
