Cortenova Primitivo, 2010 $7.95, Italy: This Italian wine is a dark, ruby-red color with violet highlights. The intense and fragrant bouquet carries a rich array of red and black fruit aromas and flavors. Harmonious and velvety on the palate, it has a great balance and structure. Excellent with grilled or roasted meats, game and cheeses.  This wine was very interesting.  The color was absolutely beautiful and it smelled a bit like black pepper and raspberry jam.  I felt the body was very heavy and a little too hot for my taste.  It was not very smooth or harmonious like the descriptor said.  I think it would taste different with some food maybe.  However, I did not try this wine with food.
