Primaterra Primitivo 2007



Primitivo comes from the heel of Italy in the region of Puglia. A long lost cousin of zinfandel this hearty southern Italian red wine has big intentions yet remains lighter and easier to drink than the average California zin. The alcohol percentage is a touch lower than most domestic zinfandels. This brings freshness to the wine and enables it to pair with food more easily.  Primaterra Primitivo 2007 is a ripe and fruity wine with notes of plums, blackberries, and cherries with good concentration, balance and length.  This is a fine Italian import to enjoy with your Thanksgiving turkey.
