The smooth 2021 Montesense Primitivo embodies the tradition of great Italian wine-making. Primitivo, often used interchangeably with Zinfandel, speaks to a grape variety known for its ripe fruit flavors, firm tannins, and high sugar content. This bold, medium-bodied wine delights that palate with notes of juicy blackberry, silky dark chocolate, and herbaceous licorice. Velvety and jammy, this red wine elevates dishes like eggplant parmesan, risotto with mushrooms, and pasta with bolognese sauce.
