Primitivo Rinforzo
COLOUR
Deep ruby red with garnet highlights, reflecting both richness and maturity typical of southern Italian reds.
AROMA
Intense and enveloping bouquet with notes of ripe black cherry, plum, and blackberry jam. Hints of vanilla, sweet spice, cocoa, and licorice add warmth and aromatic depth.
PALATE
Full-bodied, smooth, and velvety. Flavours of dark fruit, chocolate, and spice unfold over soft tannins and balanced acidity. The finish is long and persistent, with notes of dried fruit and toasted oak.
CELLARING
Excellent to enjoy now for its generous fruit and roundness, but can age gracefully for 5–7 years, gaining notes of fig, caramel, and spice.
