Masseria Surani, Puglia Primitivo Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 750ml

The wine is notably restrained, especially in terms of alcohol, which the Tommasi family, owners of the estate, believes is key to making balanced wines in Puglia. The premium fruit required for making this wine is obtained as a result of strict clonal selection, modern vine training systems, and severe pruning, in order to produce a small amount of high quality wines with respect for terroir and tradition. A bright, attractively deep ruby in color, it is intensely fruity, with notes of cherries, blackberries and plums, with a faintly spicy tone underlying. It reveals mouth-filling fruit on the palate and is fresh and well-balanced, with nicely integrated tannins and a tangy, pleasantly elegant finish. It’s attractively light style makes it very versatile. It is ideal with pasta and rice dishes based on white meats and vegetables, roasts, and relatively young cheeses.
