Primitivo from Salento

Primitivo grapes is grown a lot around the Salento region in Puglia. And from this region I had the chance to try the Primtitivo Di Manduria (2013) from producer Paololeo. The colour is dark ruby. The taste is of red cherries, woody with strong chocolate flavour. One can feel the tannins in the back of the throat. Decent wine. Primitivo is the same grape as Zinfandel.
