Another fantastic Italian red wine from Puglia

ITL223Grower Profile
The Salvalai Winery is of International reputation, having won medals as far as Ontario! Their range spans from the marvellous Merlot to the finest and delicious Flaio Primitivo. Mixing the best of the traditional methods with the latest stainless steel vat technology, their wine making is supreme, and the results show in producing consistent wines of very high quality.

Primitivo Flaio : From the “heel of the boot” comes Italy’s answer to Zinfandel. Yes, they say that Primitivo and Zinfandel have the same roots, but Italy’s answer is a softer version and lower in alcohol. The Puglia region has a nice warm climate and Flaio produces Primitivo which is lush, with tastes of black berries, bramble and spice … think barbecued ribs!

Tasting Notes: This 2007 Primitivo is the Italian forefather of California’s famous Zinfandel, this is a delicious, dark red, voluptuous wine with a long elegant finish and a clean fruit filled nose. A must!
