Tasting - Cortenova Primitivo



Name: Cortenova Primitivo
Variety: Prinitivo
Country: Italy
Year: 2010
Price: $7.95

Vintage Cellar Review: Dark, ruby-red color with violet highlights. Intense and fragrant bouquet with a rich array of red and
black fruit aromas and flavors. Harmonious and velvety on the palate. Great balance and structure. Excellent with grilled or roasted meats, game and cheeses.

My Review: This wine smelled of dark fruit and spices.  When tasting this wine, it also tasted like dark fruit, with a slightly tabacco like aftertaste.  The wine was fairly dry, with a strong burn of alcohol when swallowing.
