From the Salento Peninsula in Puglia, the heel of the boot of Italy. The wine is grown in red sand vineyards on the coast of the Ionian sea. The Italian "Primitivo" gets its name because it ripens early but the grape is genetically identical to Zinfandel.
Jessica: Strong tannins, jammy aftertaste with dark fruits. Well balanced acidity, this is a beautiful, full-bodied wine, dark magenta in color. Some stoney mineral elements present.
Score: 4.4/5
David: Rich, purple-red in color. Nose of herbs, lavender and graphite on top of rich dark fruits. Maybe a faint whiff of cocoa. Ripe, blackberry and blueberry fruit dominate. A full bodied chewy texture. Medium acidity and massive tannins. A very enjoyable wine is great alone or with food.
Score 4.3/5
