Description
The 2023 Primitivo Orion opens in the glass with dusty blackcurrants, exotic spices, crushed chalk and violets. It envelops the palate with silken textures, ripe wild berry fruits and a contrasting tinge of sour citrus as licorice nuances saturate toward the close. The 2023 finishes lightly structured and admirably long, leaving behind hints of sour cherry and a pleasant chewiness. Masseria Li Veli overdelivers with this balanced Primitivo.
