Antica Masseria di Sigillo 2014 Primitivo di Manduria, Puglia, Italy, $9.99-$19.99, 91 points, is hands down the best Italian Zinfandel I've tasted, and at this price is the sizzler to seize.
Poured broadly black with a gradual ruby umbra toward the clear rim and heavily draped glass bowl.
Aromatic mulberry, ripe summer blackberry, and earth with just a hint of pine tar were excellent.
Near full-bodied with good acidity and sweet round tannins carried the bouquet rightly onto the palate.
Finished long and juicy with easy pepper spices, a hint of pomegranate, and a warm 14.5% alcohol.
Paired perfectly with my Mexican cuisine.
