Description
Cosimo Taurino's Settimo Ceppo is a Primitivo from Puglia's sun-drenched southern reaches, where this varietal has found its home for centuries. The 2018 vintage captures the wine in its approachable, fruit-forward mode, made for drinking now rather than cellaring.
What arrives in the glass is a cascade of wild berry aromatics, fresh-picked and generous. The palate is soft and pliant, revealing ripe red fruit and cooler blue fruit notes held together by a juicy spine of acidity that keeps everything lively and balanced. There's a long finish that gradually shifts toward raspberry preserves and warming spice, the kind of lingering conclusion that makes you want another sip. This is straightforward Primitivo drinking, unpretentious but fully satisfying.
Expert Reviews
The 2018 Primitivo Settimo Ceppo wafts up with all the aromas of a basket of freshly picked wild berries. It’s soft-textured and pliant, ripe red and hints of blue fruits staining the palate, all kept in check by juicy acidity. This lingers incredibly long, tapering off to notes of raspberry preserves and spice. The Settimo Ceppo puts on no airs while delivering a mouthful of pure Primitivo fruit.
