Wine name: Primitivo. Producer: Azienda Agricola Masciulli Pietro, Alberobello. Vintage: 2009. Purchased from vineyard. Appearance deep browny red, very thick and viscous on the glass with quite dense with interesting flavours of fudge and pear drops aromatics. The attack is smooth and silky with instant body. Evolution: A little sharp now, but with nice juice and redcurrants with a finish which is black cherries in the nose, redcurrants on the swallow. Sweetness: 1. Acidity: 3. Tannin: 2 with a texture which is slightly rough slightly thick water and the length is not bad. As for balance, it's a little acidic. The wine has a cork closure and is 14.5% abv. Overall, this wine is: This scores points for having such interesting flavours, particularly pear drops in a red wine.. My score (which is NOT the same as Robert Parker's!) is 83 points.
