The 2006 Cecubo is a big, dark wine that needs quite a bit of time in the glass for the tannins to soften. Dark cherries, spices, smoke, licorice and tar gradually come together in this powerful, brooding Campanian red. The Cecubo is 45% Abbuoto, 35% Primitivo and 20% Piedirosso that spent 12 months in Allier oak barrels. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2018.
Villa Matilde is an excellent source for wines that ooze with character.
