2018 Viaggio

16 glass / 46 bottle / 36 club

I sailed from Corfu to Brindisi as a deckhand on a luxury yacht when I was 20. The village is in Italy’s “heel” on the Adriatic and is home to fabulous seafood and rustic wines. It was the first time I drank Primitivo and it was served with “cozze racante” (mussels au gratin with Pecorino). Oh, mama. The wine was dark and thickly textured. I loved its restrained intensity and I’ll never forget that moment.

Our Viaggio (“journey”) is a tribute to my wild days sailing and knocking about Southern Europe. It reminds me to seek adventure and that “always the journey, never the destination.” Cin Cin!

Wine Profile

Tasting Notes
This 100% Primitivo is alluringly dark with a spicy, restrained intensity. With notes of red currant and strawberry preserves, it’s cinnamon and oak finish will leave your mouth watering for more.

Food Pairing Notes
The lightness of this wine allows for versatility in pairing. It pairs well with eggplant parmesan and Siren Song’s crumbled sausage pizza.
