Pajaru Meridionale Tre Tenute Cuvée Privata 2019

Aromas and flavors of cherry-based confiture with hints of balsamic and cigar box. Full-bodied with the same savory tones dominating the palate. The tannins are fine and are sinking into the wine. Long, tasty finish. Montepulciano, primitivo and nerello mascalese. From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Sustainable. Enticing, if a little wild at present, this should calm down with a year or two in bottle. Try from 2024. Score – 92. (jamessuckling.com, Nov. 4, 2021)
