An extremely quaffable wine that reflects the authentic, saturated colors and flavors of Puglia despite being marketed with the “American” moniker for Primitivo. Red fruit is backed by tangy cinnamon and spice and the attractive wood tones recall the centuries-old olive trees of the “heel” of the boot of Italy where Zinfandel is said to have its genetic roots.
