SIZE 12 PACK, 750ml BOTTLES PRODUCER Rivera VINTAGE 2023 COLOUR Red SUB-REGION, REGION, COUNTRY Castel del Monte, Puglia, Italy GRAPE primitivo, zinfandel A rich and approachable r ed wine that embodies the warmth and charm of Puglia, the sun-soaked heel of Italy’s boot. Made from 100% Primitivo, this wine is a classic expression of the region, offering bold fruit flavours and a smooth, easy-drinking style. In the glass, it reveals a deep ruby red colour with subtle violet reflections. The nose is inviting and fruit-forward, with aromas of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and plums, accompanied by hints of dried figs, sweet spices, and a touch of vanilla. A subtle herbal note adds complexity to its aromatic profile. On the palate, it’s medium to full-bodied, with soft, velvety tannins and a juicy texture. Flavours of dark berries and ripe plum dominate, supported by a gentle spiciness and a hint of cocoa. The balanced acidity brings freshness, making the wine lively and enjoyable, while the finish is smooth and lingering, with a touch of spice and dried fruit. Show more
