Plantamura Gioia del Colle Primitivo 'Contrada San Pietro'

Mariangela Plantamura makes one of Italy’s greatest Primitivos from her tiny winery…..it’s not much larger than a typical US garage! This is a wine that earned her a Tre Bicchieri award from Gambero Rosso…..that’s a pretty big deal as it’s about the highest award an Italian wine can garner. Her Etichetta Nera is her top wine and is made with the estate’s oldest vines. Deeply colored and packed with flavors of ripe plum, dark raspberry, and exotic spices, this is almost too easy to drink, especially for a “bigger” wine. Enjoy it with your favorite bbq.
