WINES OF THE WEEK
ITALIAN WINES!
Calx Primitivo Puglia 2017
Varietal: Primitivo
Region/Appellation: Puglia, Italy
Tasting Notes: The Filippo Cassano 'Calx' Primitivo is a ridiculously crushable red coming from the region in the heel of the Italian peninsula “boot,” Puglia. This wine is a part of a wonderful project called FUSO, which aims to bring organic, small production, daily drinking Italian wines to the US. Light enough to enjoy with a slight chill, but equally as delicious at room temp.
Pairing: Roast lamb, sausage and peppers, eggplant parm.

Masseria Borgo Dei Trulli Primitivo Rosato 2020

On the nose, there are seashells and peonies, and flavors of strawberries, passion fruit, watermelon, and orange blossom. the palate is full, fresh, and crisp, with good acidity and a lingering sensation of citrus fruit and minerals. The finish is long and clean.
Pairing: It can stand alone or with fish, seafood or poultry.
