The Tenute Rubino 2016 Primitivo Punta Aquila gives you bang for your buck. This very reasonably priced red wine offers thick layers of dark fruit, sweet plum and dried blackberry. Variety-driven notes like black olive and potting soil kick in at the end. The wine approaches a full-bodied style, and that thicker texture will stand up nicely to grilled meats. The 14.5% alcoholic content adds a little kick of power. Some 90,000 bottles were made.

A good value choice, the Tenute Rubino 2014 Primitivo Punta Aquila opens to slightly rustic notes of black olive and caper with thick layers of dark fruit and cherry preserves at the front. Like all good Primitivo, this wine seriously flaunts its ripe and fruity side and the aromas offer plenty of primary characteristics. Sweet, jammy fruit and spice adds weight and substance to the finish.

The 2011 Punta Aquila does not live up to past editions of this wine. It is made from 100% Primitivo and this vintage is redolent of charred earth, toasted nut, brown sugar and candied fruit. In fact, the wine's primary aromas don't have the brightness or buoyancy that you might get in a cooler vintage. Maple syrup and caramel add evident touches of sweetness on the close. I'd suggest drinking Punta Aquila within the next 12 months.
