Dry tannins, dark fruit, fun story. Good bottle of wine to pair with some red meat.

From hot, dry southern Italian Manduria DOC. Lots of bay leaf and herbs. Bone dry with medium+ acid, tannin and alcohol. Surprisingly complex for $14.99. Never cared much for Primitivo, until now.

Very light floral on the nose, fruity in the palate. Excellent choice for Primitivo!

Very mild fruit on the nose. Dry, dry, dry, a little cherry on the palate with a nice pepper finish. Pretty simple. We would not sip this but it pairs well with a meal - eggplant Parmesan this time. (this is an Italian Zin - last meal in San Fran!)

First time trying Primitivo. Nice inexpensive wine. Fruity, tobacco taste.
