Natalie's Score: 89/100

Farnese’s Vanitá 2023 Primitivo di Manduria emerges as a vibrant and dynamic red, bursting with a medley of succulent red fruits reminiscent of cherries and blackberries, combined with subtle whispers of delicate blossoms and a hint of toasted oak derived from both French and American barrels. On the palate, its generous structure is gracefully supported by refined tannins that progressively unveil layers of rich berry medley before culminating in a persistently spiced, well-rounded finish. Sourced from the distinctive red clay soils of Manduria—where Primitivo reigns supreme—this wine delivers remarkable character and exceptional value at just $18. Enjoy it with a meaty ragu or ribs and burgers from the grill.

Primitivo food pairings: bison burgers, roast boar, rabbit ragu.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
