Li Veli, Salento (Puglia, Italy) Primitivo 2008

Jan 9, 2011

By Robert Whitley

 In the realm of inexpensive reds that are inviting, interesting and generous, Liveli’s lineup from Puglia is impressive. This medium-bodied Primitivo is fresh and juicy, with notes of black cherry, licorice and spice; good balance; and a long, lip-smacking finish.
