This wine is all about alliteration… Primiterra is the winery, Primitovo is the grape, and Puglia is the region of Italy from where this wine hails.

Besides my love of alliteration, this wine label has a pretty cool line drawing of a chicken and an egg! Which brings me to the saying on the label:

Which comes first, the chicken or the egg? The answer is easy: neither! First comes the Primitivo! Strong, vigorous, with a lot of personality, a real king! (of the coop).

This is a fun wine – an absolutely fabulous zinfandel from Puglia, located in the “heel” of Italy. Fun fruit and smooth tannins! Aged in 60% stainless tanks and 40% oak. And fun drawings. Enjoy!
