Description:
Wow!! Is this a great wine, or what?
The initial release of Indian Springs Vineyards Primitivo is stunningly brilliant in color, like a classic ruby gemstone and its forward aromas of fresh fruit are indicative of the strawberry, cherry and red-raspberry preserve flavors that pique the senses from the first Taste to the last. Refreshing as a cool summer shower, this is the perfect wine for Christmas giving or to share with friends and family. A limited release wine, buy it now before it sells out.

Varietal Definition
Primitivo:
Recent "DNA" testing has shown Primitivo to possess the exact same genetic make up as the popular California grape, Zinfandel. Both varieties origins are tracked back to Croatia. And while the grapes may be identical in theory, the wines they produce have distinct differences. Primitivo's home province is Apuglia (sometimes called Puglia), located in the "heel" of Italy's boot. Wines made from Primitivo have notes of plum and spice, like Zinfandel, but because of different growing soils and climate, the fruit character is less jammy, the structure more akin to old world wines, with rustic notes of earth and spice, as well as tamed fruit flavors.
