Tasting - Cortenova Primativo 2012


Name: Cortenova Primativo
Variety: 100% Zinfandel
Region: Puglia
Country: Italy
Year: 2012
Price: $10

Winery Review: Dark, ruby-red color with violet highlights. Intense and fragrant bouquet with a rich array of red and black fruit aromas and flavors. Harmonious and velvety on the palate. Great balance and structure.

My Review: This particular wine did not have a distinct bouquet to me, but it was strong.  On the palate, I got a bold earthy taste with hints of spices as well.  While it seemed somewhat creamy in the mid-palate, this wine has me puckering by the finish.

I did not have food with this wine.
