Primitivo / Zinfandel

Zinfandel and Primotivo are identical twins, genetically-speaking, but differences of wine-making styles and terroir of their primary growing locations have resulted in unique expressions of this red. Californian Zinfandel is characteristically sweeter, smoother and more alcoholic, while Italian Primitivo, not as fruity and sweet, is big on soft rich structure and spice.

  Best wine retailer in Christchurch. Awesome selection and when they special the wine you know that it is good value. They don't offload the bulk stuff

  Not only do they sell delicious wine at great prices, but the owners of the store couldn't be more lovely. We had to cancel our wedding twice due to covid-19 and they have been amazing in helping us return and sell our alcohol. They have gone above and beyond. Highly recommend.

  Best wine shop in NZ, the staff are amazing and the selection is outstanding. Don't risk buying unknown wines at the supermarket, go to these expert guys and get hooked up with the best options possible relative to your taste.

  Absolutely fantastic experience with Vino Fino for our wedding. They do offer a free chiller trailer with large orders but unfortunately someone got in just before us to have that on our wedding weekend. The staff are lovely and helpful, we had wonderful interactions with Paul, Dean and James. We did not have any idea of what we wanted to supply to our guests but the recommendations made were top notch and the guests loved them. The amount recommended worked out well for us, they work with your budget and they have a buy back option if you do not use all the wine. Would recommend for events or if you do not know wines like us and you are looking for recommendations.
