The Wine Advocate
The 2006 Primitivo Piluna is a wine of uncommon beauty. This vibrant, pure red shimmers on the palate with layers of dark cherries, sweet herbs, licorice and tobacco. It offers outstanding length and terrific balance. Readers who haven’t discovered Primitivo owe it to themselves to do so. This is a great starting point. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2011.
Score: 90.
