Our Tasting Note: It tastes like Primitivo, but it does not feel like typical Primitivo. The pronounced nose rises easily from the glass. On the palate the richness is tempered, in a very good way, texturally this is very appealing. Full bodied, ripe dark red fruits, spices, med+ tannin, black cherry, blackberry, blueberry, black raspberry, and sweet licorice. Long on the finish, the best Primitivo I have had in years!
Hera Primitivo is a red wine made from Primitivo grapes grown in the volcanic soils of Baslicata, Italy. The wine is known for its savory flavor and dense blackberry fruit.
- Aroma: Ashy soil, dense blackberry fruit, sundried tomato
- Flavor: Savory, mouth-filling texture, ripe and tangy flavors of berry and sour cherry
- Finish: Bittersweet finish, with dark cocoa tannins
Food pairing: Hera Primitivo pairs well with dishes with tomato and/or savory characteristics, such as:
- Caramelized onion and gorgonzola flatbread
- Goat cheese and eggplant lasagna
- Pizzas and pastas with rich tomato sauces
- Grilled meats, chicken and veggies
Winemaking
Primitivo grapes are thin-skinned and delicate, requiring extra care in the vineyard to produce a wine of classic qualities.
