Primitivo is found growing on the heel of the boot of Italy in a region called Puglia. Originally a native of Croatia, Primitivo eventually travelled west to the USA where it mysteriously became known as Zinfandel. We have used the Primitivo synonym with this wine to reflect its exuberant Mediterranean style.
This wine was fermented using traditional plunging techniques in open fermenters followed by an extended maceration on skins. The wine was aged in a combination of older French and American oak puncheons and hogsheads for 12 months.
Bouquet: Spicy fruit cake with jubey red fruits together with infused herbal notes, earth and tobacco.
Palate: The palate is full of dark brambles and tangy stewed rhubarb, hints of herbs and has lovely chalky tannins.
