1) PUGLIA 2002 Alc 15.5% (100% Primitivo):
Distinctive dark purple with high intensity and shiny tone, rich and rigid preserved plum and strong alcoholic nose at progressive presentation followed by cinnamon and olive flavours at uneven intervals, tannin is strong but silky and progressively balance over an hour, the body is semi-dry to dry and quite full from the beginning until the end of the long dinner, the alcoholic strength is quite balance even sugar content is not very rich, long and lengthy warm finish with distinctive plum flavour. This is no doubt a very good primitivo for connoisseur drinkers.
2) VILLA D’ONOFRIO Molise NV Alc 12.5% (100% Sangiovese) Sample Red 6:
Medium intense light ruby red with muddy tone, firm full nose of ripe grapes, salty taste of pickled juice from melon and plum with a slight touch of rotten apple on the palate, strong tannin followed by obvious alcoholic yield, medium bodied with medium bitter finish.

Light and bright ruby red with medium intensity, quite unpleasant nose of diesel and lacquer where no fruity fragrances can be found, tannin and alcohol are strong with high acidity flavour on the palate which is not coming from plum and pepper characters, medium to full bodied, lengthy medium dry but spicy finish.
