Masseria Li Velli, Salento IGT (Puglia, Italy) Primitivo “MLV” 2020 ($50, Dalla Terra)

Wine label

Can a Zinfandel by any other name taste quite so sweet? Indeed, it can with a Puglia red such as this, with its bright cherry flavors accented by barrel notes and light nutty flavors and plenty of dusty tannins. Primitivo is the lead player, comprising 85% of this, along with 15% Cabernet Sauvignon.
