Pazzia, Primitivo di Manduria, Puglia, Italy, 2018

Available from 23 November, this southern Italian red will appeal to those who have enjoyed Waitrose's Terre di Faiano Primitivo, also from Puglia. It's inky dark in the glass, with bags of ripe, fleshy fruit flavours – black cherries and salted plums. Velvety, rich and fruit forward, it's a real crowd pleaser that would slip down easily with or without food.
