Felline's 2017 Primitivo di Manduria has a cool sticker on its label reminding you that these grapes are planted in red, iron-rich soils. Pouring from the bottle with deep, dark intensity, this wine is extra bold, sweet and enriched, and the alcohol feels higher than the recorded 14% content. It's a thick and sticky wine with teriyaki or barbecue spice followed by sweet plum and cherry liqueur. The heat also reveals notes of bacon fat or grilled meat. This is the kind of potent but informal red you'd open on a cloudy winter day with a steak sandwich. Fruit comes from the estate's historic vineyards planted in brick-red soils. Some 150,000 bottles were made.

Vibrant, with fresh acidity backing the gamy cherry and raspberry notes, revealing spicy peppercorn, tar and chalk. Drink now. 10,000 cases made.??–NW??Region: Italy / South / Puglia / Primitivo di Manduria Select to Add

The 2011 Primitivo di Manduria Zinfandel plays up the fact that Primitivo and California's Zinfandel are genetic siblings. Much like the American interpretation of the grape, this wine boasts full richness and a soft, yielding texture that is accented by oak spice and dark fruit flavors. Zinfandel ages in both botte grande and stainless steel to maintain the integrity of it black fruit flavors. This is a nicely made wine with a great sense of varietal pureness.

This stunning value exhibits Zinfandel-like briery fruit intermixed with notes of pepper, meat, herbs and spice box. An impression of ripe fruit continues on the palate of this spicy, medium-bodied, intensely flavored, personality-filled wine. Consume it over the next 1-2 years.
