Varvaglione, Puglia IGP (Italy) “Masseria Pizzariello” 2020 ($65)

An ode to the family Masseria, graced with paper doors that open on the wine label, this exquisite blend of Primitivo, Negroamaro, and Aglianico unfolds with a bouquet of cassis, mint, tobacco, cedarwood, black tea, and subtle notes of tar. On the palate, vibrant acidity meets ripe, juicy fruit—bursting with cassis, red currants, and sour cherries—filling a robust, medium-full body. The tannins are perfectly ripe, offering a harmonious finish that lingers with depth and elegance.
