Vespa II Bruno dei Vespa Primitivo Salento IGT 2022 (12 Bottles) Puglia, Italy

Vespa Il Bruno dei Vespa Primitivo Salento IGT, from renowned journalist-turned-winemaker Bruno Vespa in Puglia’s Salento, delivers Primitivo at its most polished. Deeply hued, it opens with aromas of ripe blackberry, plum, and sweet spice. The palate is plush yet balanced, with layers of dark cherry, cocoa, and a subtle earthy minerality, framed by supple tannins and a lingering, velvety finish. Full-bodied but harmonious, it captures both richness and finesse. Awarded 90 points by James Suckling, this is a refined expression of southern Italy – ideal alongside roasted meats, aged cheeses, or simply savoured by the glass.
