Tasting - Cortenova Primativo


Name: Cortenova Primativo
Variety: 100% Zinfandel
Region: Puglia 
Country: Italy
Year: 2012
Price: Regular $10; Sale $6.95

Shop Review: "Dark, ruby-red color with violet highlights. Intense and fragrant bouquet with a rich array of red and black fruit aromas and flavors. Harmonious and velvety on the palate. Great balance and structure."
-Vintage Cellar, Blacksburg 

My Review: This wine had a spicy nose, maybe with some chocolate-cherry; something smokey. It was a dry wine; no berry like I've gotten on many other reds, but possibly detecting wood notes. 

Tasted without food.
