This is not in the style of primitivo as progenitor of Zinfandel. This wine is medium bodied, finely wrought and elegant. Lovely fruit with just enough acidity and tannin to keep it from being cloying. Absolutely charming and a good accompaniment for food

This wine is lighter Then most primitivo, lively acidity and beautiful fruit lacks a bit on the finish
