I tried this Primitivo at my friend Mark's house a week or so ago, and really liked it. We enjoyed it with a number of appetizers including bruschetta with a fresh tomato and mozzarella topping.
It opens with a black plum, blackberry and tobacco leaf note in the nose, the palate has juicy flavors of blackberry, blueberry, plum, and a hint of black raspberry on the tongue. It's quite drinkable and pleasant to sip on by itself, but would pair nicely with a number of foods.
I think grilled chicken with bbq sauce would be good, red sauce pasta, red sauce pizza (ziggy's 4 meat) teriyaki steak tips, pork roast done on a grill rotisserie....
Not a wine for long keeping in the cellar, but more of a great everyday sipper that won't break the bank.
Available at some NH Liquor outlets for $7.50 per bottle in the powerbuy section, at that price you could buy a case and make it your house wine. I did have to have it transferred to W. Leb from another store to get it, check with your local outlet to see if they have it.
Cheers!
