2016 Schola Sarmenti Salento Primitivo Critera

Remember analogies? Primitivo is to Puglia, what Sangiovese is to Tuscany. Puglia is a land known for "cucina povera", or peasant food. Relying heavily on inexpensive high quality ingredients like tomatoes, chiles, & veggies. This Primitivo has a little more weight but the acidity will match sauce and the added dark cherry fruit will pair well the chiles and their flakes. Buon appetito!
