96 Point Italian Red. $23. This is not a drill.
96 points. 23 bucks. Is this even legal? Trentacoste Primitivo has, in less than a year, become synonymous with southern Italian vinous pleasure around here.
It’s easy to call it a “reckless value”, “Overacheiver” or a “Cheat Code,” but peel back the accolades and hype and what you’ll find is a dead-serious Primitivo for hedonists who love (and deserve) a bargain.

This freshly landed 2025 is a force of Pugliese nature, bearing an identical score to its blockbuster predecessor. Trentacoste’s gnarly old bush vines produce a wine of remarkable concentration and purity, loaded with dense, black fruit. It’s smooth, it’s silky, it’s got mineral backbone, and it feels like robbery at this price. But you’ll hear no complaints here.
Don’t let this become another “sold out” legend. Our first two releases vanished the second word got out, and you can only find it here.
Take it and run!
