Primitivo is a grape indigenous to Italy and the eastern Mediterranean, now more commonly known as Zinfandel. This wine is made by over ripening the grapes on the vine, then harvesting and fermenting them over a lengthy 20 days, then oak ageing to create a rich style. Deep, dense ruby in colour, with a nose of warm prunes, dates and figs, with hints of sweet spice. Full and voluptuous, the mouth feel is soft and plush, with toasty notes that linger on the finish. Try with venison, or pan fried calves' liver.
