Polvanera's 2010 Gioia del Colle Primitivo 16 is a thick and penetrating wine that shows an uncharacteristic note of sourness that is uncommon in the Primitivo grape. The wine's bouquet delivers aromas of charred earth, toasted almond and sweet cherry fruit. Its consistency is lean and moderate in length. Primitive grapes are farmed with organic methods in limestone and iron-rich soils.
