Pasqua Desire & Lush Zin Primitivo (75cl, 13.5%)

Pasqua Desire & Lush Zin Primitivo is a full-bodied red wine made from 100% Primitivo, from Puglia IGT in Italy. Hand-harvested grapes undergo destemming, crushing and low-temperature pre-fermentation maceration for about a week. Alcoholic fermentation takes place at 20 to 24°C over 15 to 20 days with frequent pump-overs, followed by malolactic fermentation and six months in large wooden barrels. The nose shows ripe plum, dark red fruit, black pepper, cinnamon, coffee, cocoa and vanilla. The palate has cherry, plum, dark forest berries, vanilla spice and a subtle coffee-like bitterness, with soft, velvety tannins and well-integrated residual sweetness. The finish is juicy, with cocoa, vanilla and black pepper.
