Rich and bold with moderate acidity; on the palate a wonderful balance of ripe fruit, lively, but not aggressive tannins and a subtle note of cranberry that lingers on the finish.
Winemaker Notes
Primitivo comes to us from the Puglia region of southern Italy, but did you know that it’s a twin to California’s famous Zinfandel? They share the same DNA and like many siblings, have traveled different paths, both adapting to their new homes and developing slightly different character.
