'Masca del Tacco Zinfandel'' has been renamed as 'Masca del Tacco Primitivo'
Primitivo's twin brother, this wine arrived in the first half of the nineteenth century on the east coast of the United States with the name of Zinfandel. It was transplant-ed in California in the second half of the same century where it is now considered a traditional wine.
Today it is also present in Australia and South Africa. Masca del Tacco produces this "Zinfandel" from a careful selection of Primitivo grapes coming from the best breeding areas. It is a soft wine, characterized by an intense pleasure of the palate, freshness and flavor. Intense and bright ruby red. Complex nose of black berries and plum jam, red flowers, humus, cocoa powder, mint and iron.
Full-bodied and enveloping, creamy and smooth, fruity with a very long balsamic and fruity persistence.
