Description
At last! A welcome return for one of our most popular wines - and it looks like it was definitely worth the wait. Pillastro has already won a host of awards and accolades from reputed judges (including Robert Parker!). We guarantee that after just one sip you'll be hooked on that fantastic silky soft fruit of Italy's most beguiling red.

Made from small parcels of southern Italy's star grape, Primitivo (Californian Zinfandel by another name) by star winemaker Angelo Maci, this has been crafted with the standards you would expect from Tuscany's finest - and patiently aged in new oak barrels for added richness. Rich purple colour with aromas of chocolaty plums and spicy raisins. A thoroughly satisfying juicy mouthful that ripples with deep black fruit, balanced by warm oak. "Lush and lovely" (Malcolm Gluck). Superb with roasts.

I have ordered many wines from Lathwaites in the past, but when I stumbled across Pillastro Primitivo I was immediately hooked and now although I drink other wines when I have to, I always look forward to my next glass of Pillastro Primitivo with its distictive rich smoothness and slightly sweet fruity aftertaste. In my opinion it is unbeatable. - Mr A Leigh, Gloucestershire - 05/09/2008 15:02:14

An incredible journey, oh so smooth, and then a firework display of summer fruits - how can they do all this with a red wine? Must investigate further...... - Mr S Ballago - 24/08/2008 12:53:27

Absolutely brilliant - I was hooked on it from the first bottle and although I occasionally try other reds I always come back to Pilastro Primitivo - it's simply the best taste for the best value. I hope the quality can be maintained in future years. - Mr D Hoyle, Gwent - 15/08/2008 09:50:52
