Despite sitting in cement tanks for decades, this Madeira-like mono-varietal Primotivo has a slow burn. It’s an assertive wine that evolves with exquisite deliberation, revealing devastating layers of brooding, dark notes. Figs, coffee, rich spices and Christmas cake make this wine a hedonistic treat; however, it’s the piquant acidity complementing all this sweet, dark decadence that makes the Il Barone otherworldly. Drinking now and likely for a lot longer.
