Paradosso Primitivo 2024

Paradosso Primitivo is criticized for being unrefined and not meeting expectations of a rich, full-bodied Primitivo, as it presents more like a basic table wine.

Paradosso Primitivo presents a deep ruby hue, indicative of its robust character. The nose is a complex tapestry of ripe blackberries, dark plums, and a hint of dried herbs, underscored by a subtle spice reminiscent of black pepper and clove. On the palate, this wine displays a full-bodied structure with velvety tannins and a balanced acidity that elevates its fruit-forward profile. The mid-palate reveals layers of dark chocolate and a whisper of anise, leading to a long, satisfying finish. This Primitivo exemplifies the quintessential richness and intensity of Southern Italian reds, making it an excellent benchmark for the varietal.
