For many years many thought that Primitivo and Zinfandel so popular today from California were the same grapes. While they are extremely close relatives they are not, in fact the same grape, but they share the same characteristics. Superbly rich, full of fruit concentration and  superbly supple on the back end. Primitivo has developed a huge following among US wine consumers looking for great quality at a reasonable price. They are extremely user friendly reds, great for entertaining, excellent for BBQ this summer and definite crowd pleasers. The wine will satisfy all red wine palates and todays example is Primitivo at its finest. The Pajaru Picuraru Primitivo 2020 is an absolute steal, a savings of 47% plus a monster 96pts by Luca Maroni, the Robert Parker of Italy. The roots of the Tenuta del Pajaru estate are deeply embedded in the history and symbols of Puglia. A “Pajaru” is a rural drystone building used as a shelter by farmers and shepherds. Only a skilled artisan called a “Paritaru” possessed the wisdom and expertise required to build these huts. Even today, the “pajaru” is an emblem of knowledge and experience, which are the same expertise required to produce a great wine. Made from old vines the Pajaru Primitivo is a super expressive Primitivo bursts from the glass with ripe, rich fruit and notes of spice all wrapped around a core of lavish, silky smooth tannins. Big bold and delicious with an insane price, a wine with universal appeal and a great everyday red that covers all the bases. At our price and easy case decision!
