Appearance:
The wine exhibits a deep, garnet or ruby-red color, often with hints of purple at the rim.
Aroma:
On the nose, this wine offers an enticing blend of ripe fruit and spice. Expect aromas of:
Blackberries and dark cherries: These fruits dominate, providing a luscious and jammy quality.
Plums: Ripe, juicy plums contribute to the aromatic profile.
Black pepper and spices: A touch of spice adds complexity.
Sometimes, you might detect a subtle hint of vanilla from oak aging.
Flavor:
Primitivo wines are full-bodied and fruit-forward on the palate. Here’s what you might taste:
Blackberry jam and cherry compote: The sweet, concentrated fruit flavors are reminiscent of homemade preserves.
Raisins and figs: Dried fruit notes add depth.
Mild tannins: Primitivo wines are generally smooth, with tannins that are present but not overpowering.
Moderate acidity: Enough to balance the richness of the fruit.
Spicy finish: A lingering warmth from the black pepper and spice notes.
Pairing:
This pairs wonderfully with hearty, flavorful dishes. Consider these food pairings:
Grilled meats: Think barbecue, steak, or lamb chops.
Pasta with tomato-based sauces: Zinfandel loves tomato-based dishes.
Aged cheeses: The wine’s richness complements cheeses like Parmesan or Pecorino.
