2021 Tenuta Viglione Marpione Primitivo Riserva Gioia del Colle

An array of aromas, from the typical dark berries of the variety through sweet herbs, mint and orange zest, introduce a palate which opens soft and smooth, with broad, super-ripe tannins perfectly integrated with the fleshy fruit. A very traditional Riserva style from a single vineyard planted in 1937, on possibly the highest site of the denomination.

Cedary and spicy, with very ripe dark fruit at the core. Full-bodied and intense, edging toward jammy on the palate, with oak spices shaping the finish. Structured and slightly heavy, but keeps the balance overall. From organically grown grapes.
