Fairly astringent nose. Its powerfully tart, alcoholic and acidic. Some earthiness and stewed overripe fruits in there, but its out of balance, and below average. Its still perfectly drinkable and with food would probably be okay.

Cantele '05 Primitivo Had our first bottle last night and it won't be our last. Great taste and great value.

A chunky, plummy red from Apulia in Southern Italy. Great for everyday drinking.

Winemaker's Notes:

"The 2005 Primitivo is another engaging wine with plenty of sweet, ripe fruit perfect for drinking over the next year or two. It spent 6 months in used oak barrels. It, too, is an outstanding value. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2010." - Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate
