While the 2003 Brunello doesn’t quite reach the level of his superb 2001, this wine should be on readers’ short lists of wines to seek out in 2003. It is a commendable effort in every way.

Ca' del Doge Primitivo IGT

Vinicola Tombacco

Wine Type: Dry red wine
Country: Italy
Grape Variety: 100% Primitivo
Tasting Notes: This wine is almost purple in colour and smells immediately sweet. And it is; there is a little residual sugar on the palate which softens the wine. It is very round with aromas and flavours of chocolate and anise. Soft sweet tannins add to its lushness. Match with food that is bitter or slightly salty to contrast the sweetness of the wine.
Price (per bottle): $11.99
