The Puglia IGP Primitivo is made from 100% Primitivo, which is the same grape as California's Zinfandel, which actually originates from Croatia, where it is known as Tribidrag. The grapes for Tenuta Viglione come from some of the estate's younger vines, averaging about 13 years of age. Mid-crimson in color, this Primitivo showcases flavors of baked and dried fruits with a dusty tannin profile and full-body. Enjoy with spicy cured meats or pizza.
Tenuta Viglione is a family-owned, certified organic estate founded in the 19th century in Puglia, Italy run by Giovanni Zullo and his children. The vineyards are located in the DOC of Gioia del Colle at an altitude of 480 meters, among the highest in the region, planted on calcareous soils interspersed with shell fossils. The winery is brand new and is entirely gravity-fed. It also features temperature controlled stainless steel fermentors with the goal of reducing oxidation and preserving the freshness of fruit.
