Papavero Primitivo 2006

Description
From the maker of your No.1 most reordered red, Il Papavero, comes an indulgently rich, special release - Papavero Primitivo 2006.

To make the 'Poppy' wine, hot-shot winemaker Scipione Giuliani scours top vineyards thoughout Italy to find the highest quality, most full flavoured grapes. In terrific 2006, he discovered a parcel of 50-year-old vines in Italy's sun-soaked Puglia. Fruit concentration was exceptional, and he knew he had to use the grapes to make a special edition, world-class quality Primitivo - "the buzz grape of the year" according to The Daily Mail.

Nicknamed the 'Black Poppy', this sumptuous red offers a moreish mix of Papavero's signature drinkability, with the fruit-packed richness of Italy's sun-drenched south … and it's already charmed wine lovers just as much as the original.

Rich ruby hue with lavish aromas of ripe plums and spicy raisins. A thoroughly satisfying, juicy mouthful of deep black fruit, toasty chocolate and soft, spicy oak notes. 14% Vol. To 2011.
