A fresh, rich wine, with some good exotic fruit flavors and a clean, green aftertaste.

Not a super jammy-style Primitivo, which makes it all the more interesting because of the earthiness and spice that enhance the structure and complexity of the wine. Great with tomato- and garlic-based pastas or Bolognese. Best Buy.

Terrale translates as “product of the earth,” and that’s about all one can say about this wine. The grapes used are Catarrato, a white variety indigenous to Sicily, and the ubiquitous Trebbiano. A light apple nose starts it off, and the structure is good, with adequate acids. However, the finish is short and lacks flavor.

Definitely not Zinfandel-like, despite its Primitivo origins; a rather nondescript wine, as a matter of fact. Light cherry overtones are noted on the nose and palate. The tannins are mouth-drying. This is certainly not a good example of how far Puglia has come with this grape. However, it would work fine with a slice or two of pizza.

Nero d’Avola (80%) gives this a rich, juicy berry flavor and the Syrah (20%) adds backbone and fresh-ground pepper flavors. Interesting and fruit-forward. Best Buy.

A pleasant, dusty nose redolent of brewing coffee picks up a smoky char on the palate, though it finishes a touch flat. It could use a bit more fruit and acidity, but it’s a nice, simple wine nonetheless.
