One of the best Italian wines by one of the best ever Italian wine makers, the recently passed giant of the craft, Emidio Pepe. Heavenly rich with southern Italian orchard fruit, herbs, honey. — 3 days ago

This dark wine has a fruity nose of blackberry and plum, but there are some more savory notes as well. Black pepper, cigar box and black olive also come through. On the palate, licorice and plums are in the forefront of one of the fruitier flavor profiles I have tasted in Apulian Primitivos. The 16% alcohol is not as overpowering as I imagined it would be. The tannins are fairly forceful and the acidity is refreshing. This wine drinks really well and will pair nicely with a marbled rib eye steak. — 5 years ago

Not the super sweet kind - which I like. — 7 years ago

Aromatic in that “saucy” baijiu way, nutty, yeasty and savory rice. Salinity in the background - much enhanced by (liquid) olives! Also, why has no one made a dirty (with olive juice) sherry spritzer yet?? @ Mercado Little Spain — 2 days ago

Very nice Primitivo from the Puglia/Salento region. Dark ruby color. Paires wonderfully with Southern Italian food, but will go well with a variety of foods. Drank November 2025 — 8 months ago

Ruby colored liquid in my glass. Hints of cherry pie on the nose. Flavors of tart cherries, red plums and baking spices. Beautiful acidity. A very balanced wine. This is my last regular bottle of CP wine. I do have a VS Pinot which I will sit on for a while. Glad other wineries are making really good wines from the Clos Pepe vineyard. — 7 years ago
