Tasting - Cortenova Primitivo


Name: Cortenova 
Variety: Primitivo (Zinfandel)
Region: Puglia
Country: Italy
Year: 2010
Price: $7.95

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. Excellent with grilled or roasted meats, game and cheeses. 

Very deep red color. Smelled slightly woody, very strong, with a hint of berries. Tasted very tart in my throat. Very strong flavors that I had a hard time identifying.
