Collection: Primitivo

Explore our expressive Primitivo wine collection, showcasing the rich, sun-drenched character of Puglia in Southern Italy, particularly the celebrated terroirs of Primitivo di Manduria DOC and Salento IGT, where old-vine Primitivo produces deeply coloured, full-bodied reds with intense notes of ripe plum, black cherry, chocolate, and sweet spice. This curated selection includes the powerful San Marzano “Anniversario 62” Primitivo di Manduria Riserva 2020, a flagship old-vine Riserva from Manduria known for its depth, structure, and long oak-aged complexity; the elegant San Marzano “Talo” Primitivo di Manduria 2023, a classic expression of Manduria fruit balancing richness with smooth, approachable tannins; and the refreshing San Marzano “Tramari” Primitivo Rosé 2024, a delicate Salento rosé made from Primitivo grapes that highlights the grape’s versatility in a lighter, coastal style. Primitivo is genetically identical to Zinfandel, creating a natural bridge to our California Zinfandel collection, where the same grape expresses a warmer-climate New World style, while also linking seamlessly to our Puglia and Manduria region pages for deeper exploration of Southern Italy’s most iconic red wine terroir.
