Donna Marzia

2010 Salento Primitivo

Conti Zecca Donna Marzia is a remarkable Primitivo from the esteemed Salento region, beautifully showcasing the characteristics of this unique varietal. This red wine delights with a full-bodied structure and a vibrant, expressive acidity that enhances its overall charm. The fruit intensity is prominent, offering luscious flavors of dark berries and ripe plums that dance on the palate. Tannins are well-integrated and provide a refined backbone, supporting the wine's complexity without overshadowing its delightful fruitiness. This vintage, matured to perfection, presents a satisfying dry finish, inviting you to savor each sip while highlighting the rich terroir of Salento. Enjoy this wine with a hearty meal or as a standalone indulgence, and experience the essence of southern Italy in every glass.

Region:


Puglia
Puglia

The heel of Italy's "boot," sunny Puglia (the "g" is silent), is famed for its olive oils, almonds and of course, its rich, full-bodied wines. Although dry and intensely hot in the summer, Puglia has coastlines on three sides, providing cool Mediterranean breezes to alleviate the daytime heat. Primitivo (known in the US as Zinfandel) does well here, with other popular red varieties including Sangiovese and Negroamaro. But it is not all about reds in Puglia: the local Fiano grape produces gloriously nutty, tropical-flavored white, while Falanghina makes intensely fruity wines with citrus blossom notes.
