Primitivo Salento IGT 2020
Rivera | Puglia
Dense purple red, crisp, fruity bouquet with impressions of wild blackberries. Complex on the palate with deep fruit, at the same time remarkably supple, not saturating, of good length and with a nice drinking flow. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2020 Primitivo pulls you close with an alluring display of sage, cedar spicebox, fresh plums and blackberries. Its silky textures coat the palate in ripe blue and purple-toned fruits, nicely balanced by juicy acidity. This tapers off with notable freshness and a salty twang of minerality that keeps you coming back to the glass. Consider me impressed by this young and affordable Primitivo from Rivera." Vinous

Medium ruby red. Sweet and spicy aromas of raspberry, milk chocolate, red cherry and violet. Complex and sweet, with very soft tannins, high but harmonious acidity and beautiful generosity and elegance to the red cherry, savoury and floral flavours. A deep, sweet, rich wine with supple tannins that are wonderfully harmonious after brief aeration. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright red-ruby. Offering nuances of licorice, graphite, and coffee complementing sour red cherry aromas and flavors as opposed to the ripe red cherry more typical of Primitivos made from from grapes grown on white calcareous-rich soils." Vinous

Sparkling dark ruby red, this rich Primitivo shows a balsamic scent of dark fruits, graphite and cherries. Plenty of fruit on the palate, balanced and of nice length. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2019 Primitivo di Manduria Triusco bursts from the glass with smoky crushed blackberries, wet stone, woodland herbs and earth tones. Its textures are silky-smooth, ushering in a rich display of tart cherries and brown spice, all motivated by brisk acidity. Plums and inner violet florals linger incredibly long as the Triusco tapers off long and lightly structured. This more-savory-than-sweet and perfumed Primitivo is very easy to like." Vinous

“Cuvée Anniversario” Primitivo di Manduria Riserva IGP 2010
Felline | Accademia dei Racemi | Puglia
Deep dark ruby with radiant edge. Animating bouquet of red berries, cherries and exotic herbal spices. On the palate a captivating tension between extract sweetness, acidity and a surprisingly cool fruit component, which gives this exceptional wine an impressive personality and elegance. Blindly tasted, this red wine would hardly be identified as a typical Primitivo di Manduria - here the team around Gregory Perrucci has succeeded in creating a great wine! SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright, bright garnet red. Tender nose, ripe raspberries, some pomegranate. Smooth and round on the palate, unfolds with unexpected elegance, fine-meshed tannin, reverberates for a long time. Falstaff

"Very pale and sweet and charming. Very Pinot-esque – quite different from other wines. Red cherries and ripeness. 2010 saw lots of sirocco and bigger grapes and high yields. Lisa Gilbee admires his courage and experimentation. The fact that the wine was on the skins for so long may have reabsorbed the colour – a technique usually used for Nebbiolo." Jancis Robinson

"Good deep, bright red. Sexy red cherry, iron, violet, earth tones, and Asian spices on the captivating nose, with a mineral component building with air. Sweet and plush but with penetrating, harmonious laser-like acidity really lifting and extending the red cherry, sweet spice, and floral flavors. A beauty, finishing long and smooth as silk; so light on its feet it is almost Pinot Noiresque. This was the first vintage ever of this wine, created to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the first ever Primitivo made by Felline; it has been made only a second time since, in the 2016 vintage."

Grapes from vines up to 35 years old give this dense Primitivo power and finesse. Deep dark colour, strong nuances of sour cherry, ripe plum and dark jam in the bouquet, chocolate and coffee aromas in the background. The pronounced fruit notes continue in the powerful taste. Soft and with sweet melting, balanced and long. SUPERIORE.DE

Things to know aboutprimitivo

For years it was suspected, but after recent genetic engineering studies it is now known for certain: Primitivo is identical to the Californian Zinfandel and is derived from the ancient Croatian grape variety Tribidrag or Crlenjak Kastelanski, which was already known in the 15th century. The name was originally "Primativo" and referred to early ripening, which incidentally also applies to the Croatian name. However, there is a small difference between the Californian and Italian varieties: Primitivo ripens a little earlier, is more productive, has smaller berries and is less susceptible to diseases such as botrytis or mildew than its Californian brother.

Wines from the Primitivo grape variety produce powerful and harmonious wines.

Primitivo is quite dark and full-bodied, spicy, with velvety tannins and smells of dark forest berries like blackberries, elderberries and sour cherries. But quite typical are the spices that remind us of Donna's Christmas bakeries: chocolate, cinnamon, cloves, gingerbread and often pepper.

Primitivo mostly comes from Apulia, especially from Salento, the region between Bari, Lecce and Manduria/Tarent. One critic described a Primitivo di Maduria as the wine with which he would like to forget the evil world outside while reading a good book in an armchair by the crackling fireplace. There is no better way to describe it.

Currently there are over 12,500 hectares of Primitivo in Italy, and the trend is rising. The best known are the three DOC appellations Primitivo di Manduria (DOCG), Falerno del Massico and Gioia del Colle.

In California there are about 20,00 hectares of Zinfandel, smaller occurrences can also be found in Australia, in France in Languedoc, in Tunisia and in tiny quantities in some other countries worldwide. SUPERIORE.DE
