2011 Taste the Difference Primitivo del Salento, Puglia

( £7.49 down to £5.61, 13%, Sainsbury's )

Sourced from the flatlands of the Salento peninsula, where Primitivo (aka Zinfandel) is at its best in Puglia, this is a toothsome, barrel-aged red at a very appealing price, showing flavours of plum, blackebrry and spice, with some peppery lift, a touch of tobacco and well-integrated oak. At its best with robust food.
