ZIN ZAP. This concept behind this new and bold Primitivo is based on the tradition of “café corretto” in Italy, where people actually blend some red wine into their morning espresso and often a bit of espresso into their red wine at the end of the evening. There is no coffee essence in the wine but the flavors have been achieved by using toasted oak. Aromas and scents reminiscent of mocha, chocolate and black cherries burst from the glass in this big, luscious and elegant red wine produced using the finest grapes grown in the Southernmost regions of Italy. The particular oak aging adds complexity and notes of coffee, black berries and toasted vanilla. The mouthfeel is full-bodied, soft, succulent and velvety, with a distinct yet subtle acidity reminiscent of a fine cup of espresso. The layering is extremely well-balanced, ending with a persistently long and round finish.
