Dark chocolate and mocha aromas on the nose with fleshy ripe blackberry notes. Lovely toasty oak on the finish. Medium- to full-bodied. Supple and smooth but packed with flavour, just as a Primitivo (aka Zinfandel) grape-based wine should be. Try this with a variety of pizzas, from meat lovers' to four cheeses.

Juicy, creamy and grippy! Dominant notes include blackberries, plums, cocao and spice. Enjoy this full-bodied Italian wine with your holiday smoked ham. Tasted Nov 2016 - @sommsosa

Jon Steeves - Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Mocha, blackberry, tart pomegranate arils, with a hint of paprika. This wine offers a smooth, well balanced acidity, fruit, tannins and medium body. Italian Primitivo meet California Zin. Great execution. Tasted Nov 2016 - @jonsteeves rated 89/100

In the 90s it was confirmed that Primitivo shares identical DNA with California's heritage Zinfandel grape. Distinctly Puglian, this wien is robust and rustic, layered and dense with dark fruit, tobacco and spice. There is a soft, juicy mouthfeel on the wine lingering in chocolate mocha flavours. Try it with rib steak or gourmet burgers. - Community Wine Reviews
