Winemaker Notes
What an amazingly beautiful grape. If you get a chance to come out to the vineyards around harvest time this is one of the most beautiful and tasty grapes you will get a chance to try. The clusters are big with firm tasty grapes. They look like they come straight out of a photograph.
I feel like this grape is an underappreciated varietal. It may be an underdog but those who have discovered it are better off. Its plump and juicy, a great everyday bottle of wine.
Primitivo is picked in the middle of harvest, sometimes a little earlier. The grapes are harvested and then fermented in a small tank before being pressed off
