Papale Primitivo di Manduria

This is a version of Primitivo quite different to what we are used in Italy.
I am sure it has its lovers
6 months in French oak and 6 in American oak too
The wine has a deep colour
Multitude of spices over a big fruit.
It is a step away from a Barossa wine and two away from a classic Primitvo.
But it is definitely long and mouth fulling.

Merry Christmas to me!! Highly recommended by my favorite local wine store and wow is it delicious! Very jammy with a long peppery finish. 🍷🎄

Pretty tasty.

Sorry for the lousy photo. Great wine recommended by José Luis at Atrio. It was one of the first Primitivos I've ever had that really reminded me of Californian Zinfandel while at the same time had particular nuances from Italy. Fresh and rich at the same time.

Fine drinking 2019 Mandurian primitivo. Full bodied, robust fruit, low tanin, nice length. Thoroughly enjoyable!

✔️ 프리미티보 100%
✔️ 매우 진한 가넷컬러
✔️ 블랙커런트 잼•블랙베리•푸룬•체리 향
✔️ 얼씨한 미네랄리티•스모키한 가죽 향도 느껴짐
✔️ 묵직한 과실 향과 탄탄한 타닌의 조화
✔️ 저희 취향보다 조금 달게 느껴졌지만, 그래도 스위트보다는 드라이에 가까움
✔️ 묵직함 덕분에 양고기•소고기와 페어링 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥!
저희는 잭슨피자의 수퍼잭슨•하와이안 피자와 페어링했는데, 미국식 피자와도 꽤 잘 어울림

Cherry and blackberries with hints of violets. Chalky after taste. Very enjoyable.

Non vintage primitivo di manduria. Cocoa, raisins, cherry, a touch of licorice too. The palate is very round and rich, there is an acid backbone but it's a bit overwhelmed by the richness of the wine. Tannins kick in in the rear but they only leave a slight drying layer that continues on the finish. It's less sweet than other primitivo i had but it's an "in your face" style that I don't really like any more, it's too big anf rich. This was brought to us by my wife's grandma and was served at lunch in preparation of today's world cup round of 16 game between France and Poland that we will all watch together at home.
