Pasqua – Zin – Primitivo Desire & Lush

Love big, bold reds? If so, you’ve likely tried Californian Zinfandel or Italian Primitivo. These sibling grapes may be genetically identical, but each has its own distinct character. And this velvety bottling combines the best of both. It’s a classic, earthy Primitivo with a modern twist inspired by the smooth, plush character of Zinfandel. The grapes are macerated in their own juice before fermentation, which dials up the delicious fruity flavour. And six months of oak ageing gives it extra complexity and a silky texture. Discover notes of cherry, plum, coffee and cocoa, plus hints of black pepper and vanilla spice. It’s the perfect partner for rich tomato-based dishes.
