IT'S ALL IN THE DETAILS

Primitivo is the Italian clone of Zinfandel, and delivers a wine leaning more in the direction of rich plum-like flavors rather than blackberry. A full-bodied wine of great richness and depth with a ripe mouth-filling viscous structure, and a smooth almost feminine silkiness that belies its bold character. Heady aromatics give way to a lush warm finish that makes this wine the ideal complement to the most savory and heartiest fare.

Serve with leg of lamb, braised short ribs, duck confit and beef tournedos, or pasta with spicy sauces.
