Primitivo di Manduria DOP
Blend
100% Primitivo
Barrel Regimen
12 months - 70% French Oak, 30% New Oak
Tasting Notes
Deep garnet red in color, the 2017 Primitivo is alluring, with dense notes of balsamic, clove, blackberries, plums, and black licorice. A silky mouthfeel overlays a firm, ripe underlying tannic structure. With warming on the palate, there is a hint of Mediterranean herbs – rosemary and sage - that emerges, as the wine coalesces into a long, seamless, and elegant finish.
Vintage Notes
The 2017 Edizione Pennino Primitivo was sourced from deep within the highly acclaimed southern Puglia DOC of Primitivo de Manduria, the only Italian region specializing in the production of this grape variety. Warm, arid growing conditions favor the production of darkly colored, full-bodied, red wines. Traditionally, Primitivo is paired with roasted, braised, and stewed meats or aged cheeses.

Blend
95% Zinfandel, 3% Primitivo, 2% Petite Sirah
Barrel Regimen
18 Months - 15% New American Oak, 10% New French Oak, 75% Neutral American & French Oak
Tasting Notes
With its vibrant violet-hued ruby color, the 2017 Edizione Pennino Zinfandel is youthful in appearance. Aromas are complex, ranging from ripe strawberry and black raspberry to warm blackberry pie, clove, and a hint of blood orange zest. The wine is velvety, generous, and round. This is a classic example of Inglenook Zinfandel.
Vintage Notes
In 2017, Inglenook’s organically farmed estate vineyard received bountiful rainfall through- out winter and spring – nearly 50 inches. Fueled by the abundant rain, bud break occurred ten days earlier than it had the previous year, which foreshadowed an earlier harvest. Tem- peratures throughout the growing season were steady, except for three brief periods of heat during the summer. The Zinfandel vines were harvested by hand from the first to the third week of September.
