Tasting - Cortenova Primitivo

Name: Cortenova Primitivo
Variety: Zinfandel
Region: Puglia
Country: Italy
Year: 2012
Price: $6.95

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. 100% Zinfandel.

My Review: This wine was very light on the nose. I struggled to really get much of anything from this wine. Very tight and closed. Light fruits but a biting finish. A little young for my liking but maybe decanting would help greatly.
