Morella "Mezzanotte" (Midnight) Primitivo, Puglia 2023
Andy Says: "We carried this Primitivo a few years ago and I love the story behind it. When winemaker Lisa Gilbee first started Morella, she didn't even have a winery, she made her wine in the garage! These days she has a small facility on her organically farmed vineyard, but the same hands-on approach and dedication to quality remain. the "Mezzanotte" shows rich flavors of black cherry, plum and dried herbs, with a savory touch of spice and a whisper of leather. The wine is beautifully balanced and concentrated without feeling heavy and one of the best examples of artisanal Primitivo available on the world market."
