Primitivo Unfiltered Red Wine

2015 Salento Zinfandel

The Az. Agricola Morella Primitivo Unfiltered Red Wine from the renowned Salento region showcases the vibrant and expressive nature of Zinfandel. This striking red wine boasts a full body that envelops the palate with rich layers of flavor, while its high acidity brings a lively brightness to the experience. The fruit intensity is prominent, featuring luscious notes of ripe blackberries and cherries, complemented by hints of spice and earthiness. Tannins are notable yet well-integrated, providing structure and depth without overpowering the fruit. As an unfiltered wine, it offers a rustic charm and authenticity, making it a delightful accompaniment to hearty dishes or a delightful solo experience. The wine is completely dry, allowing the natural fruit characteristics to shine through, creating a mouthwatering and memorable tasting experience.

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.
