Linteo Primitivo Appassimento

Sweetness: Dry

Grape: Primitivo

Grape info: A native of Croatia (Tribidrag) Primitivo has been successfully transplanted to a number of regions around the world, most notably California, where it’s known as Zinfandel. Its Italian home is Puglia where it makes, rich, full-bodied, alcoholic wines with aromas of stewed fruit, dried herbs and tobacco.

About: Breathing new life into ancient and unique vineyards across Italy, Minini seek to marry new technologies with tradition. Here, the grapes are dried prior to fermentation (appassimento), concentrating their flavours, lending richness and texture to the wine.

Tasting note: Plums, black cherry and tinned strawberries on the nose. The palate is rich and full-bodied with structural tannins and concentrated notes of plums-in-brandy, blackberry and dried herbs.

Character: Strawberry, plum, tobacco
