Tasting note
Tenute Girolamo's 2018 Conte Giangirolamo should offer Primitivo aromas of blackberry, dark plum and dried spice, with a warm herbal edge. Puglia fruit is expected to feel ample and smooth, ripe flavors supported by supple tannins and a balancing thread of acidity. Its peak period ended in 2024, though the drinking window reaches 2027. A rounded finish should leave dark berry, spice and a soft earthy impression.
