Tenuta del Pajaru Picuraru Primitivo 2022

Tenuta del Pajaru Picuraru Primitivo 2022 is a bold, concentrated, and beautifully structured organic red wine from the sun-drenched vineyards of Puglia. Named after the traditional dialect word for "shepherd" to honor local heritage, this majestic wine opens with dense, brambly aromas of blackberry compote, ripe dark cherry, crushed black pepper, and potpourri spice. The palate entry is incredibly plush and supple, filling the mouth with rich plum, black chocolate, and savory leather undertones. Balanced beautifully by a lingering, fresh acidity and fine-grained tannins, its massive body finishes long and warm with a touch of dried herbs.

Food Pairing: Grilled lamb chops with rosemary, slow-roasted pork shoulder, robust pasta with meat sauce, hearty legume soups with bacon, and aged Pecorino cheese.
