Primitivo, originally from Croatia, came down to Puglia long ago (from there it migrated to California, where it's known Zinfandel). Here on the Salento Peninsula that forms the "heel of the boot," it ripens fast in the Mediterranean heat to make for ripe and juicy wines that are easy to like! This one has welcome bright notes and avoids the sweet, jammy styles that are ever-present. Try a bottle with some hearty grilled and spiced Mediterranean fare!
"The 2022 Primitivo showcases bright notes of cherry and minty herbs. The palate is juicy with a contrast of minerals and savory spice. Citrus-tinged blackberries resonate as the 2022 leaves a cheek-puckering tension." - Eric Guido, VINOUS MEDIA
