Winemaker Notes: The Vine and Grape that gave Birth to American Zinfandel The Gem of Southern Italy wines from Salento known as the Father of Zinfandel
From the renowned wine region of Salento in Southern Italy comes this incredible wine which shares the same characteristics and DNA of American Zinfandel. This wine hails from an assortment of product that has been researched and developed over many, many years to accentuate the intrinsic value of the Puglia wine region were the Primitivo and Negroamaro grape wines are the jewels of their collection. This wine is made of 100% Primitivo and Aged for 6 months in New French Allier Barriques (size: 225ltr) and 6 months in bottle. At sight this wine is a concentrated and deep ruby red color with great glass composition and intense purple colors with rose border lines, which turn orange with age. On the nose, the bouquet is persistent and delicious with an impact of summer forest soil, sweet wild red berries, blackberries, blueberries, and notes of toasted cocoa and coffee beans. A complex, full-body wine with very fine quality, on the palate the taste is pleasant, smooth, and velvety with excellent structure and balance, and a delicious, long tanning finish.
A wine that is excellent when young, tremendous when old, and definitely to be enjoyed either way! The wine pairs eexceptionally well with any pasta, roasted or braised meats, savory fish, spicy dishes, and philosophical conversations with friends.
