About This Wine

Uvaggio

Primitivo

True to the Lodi, California wine region’s moderate Mediterranean-style climate, this lively red combines layers of raspberry and freshly ripe cherry with a touch of kitchen herbs and spice. To enhance the fruit and spice flavors, with no oak to interfere, this vintage does without barrel-aging.

Wine Region

Lodi

The jewel of the Central Valley, Lodi lies just east of the California Delta in an area of varied terroir. Winemakers here can extract different grape variety expressions from each plot of land. Zinfandel is common here, making deeply fruity and tantalizingly smoky wines, often from old vines. But the deep loamy soils and balmy Mediterranean climate, with its warm days and cool nights, help keep Lodi's grape varieties and winemaking styles impressively diverse. Alongside the ubiquitous Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot and Viognier also thrive. Lodi is a melting pot of different grape varieties and winemaking techniques, all of which make it a rewarding region to explore.
