GIORDANO RISERVA PRIMITIVO di MANDURIA DOC 2022

A wine that needs no introduction. The Giordano Riserva Primitivo is one of our best selling Italian Primitivo and every time a shipment comes in it sells out in days – it is on allocation from the winery and add to this shipping delays means it is never around for long.

From Puglia, down in the 'heel' of Italy, Primitivo is arguably more well known in other parts of the world by its alter-ego Zinfandel. Although genetically the same, Primitivo has its own genuine Italian character and this fantastic example has it in spades. It's a big, ripe and intense, dark fruited style with florals and herbs. The tannins are substantial, yet rich and rounded and a gentle acidity keeps it fresh and expressive.

"Absolutely in a class of its own; the best Italian red of the year. A majestic fruity consistency that is stupendously harmonious to the senses, and with an aroma that has no faults or deficiencies. A masterpiece of wine growing and wine making that celebrates with its appealing hints of minty blackberry jam the natural expertise and techniques of his winemaker. Congratulations!"
