winemaker's notes:

"An amazing bargain... this is dense, rich, powerful stuff, its tannins stretching through the spicy, mineral-laden red fruit like runner's muscles, long and strong. Drink it now with bacon-wrapped pork loin, but make sure to stash a few bottles in the cellar, too: this should hold well for at least another five years."
-Wines & Spirits

Primitivo is sourced from vineyards located between the provinces of Lecce and Brindisi and planted with a density of about 5,000 units per hectare. Average age of the vines is between 35 and 40 years. In the new, modern cellar the wine is fermented in stainless steel vats where for the most part it also ages, although certain amount spends up to six months in wood.

Best Primitivo I have ever had.
A Customer - Boston, MA
This wine is nice and smooth - very easy to drink. I brought this to a party and everyone thought it was great!
A Customer - Cleveland, Ohio
One of our favorite every-day wines. Lighter body than most zin, but rich, understated flavor. The absence of oak must account for the forwardness of the fruit. Great with food, great on its own. Fantastic bargain.
