Summer is here and sometimes BBQ season needs a red wine. Enter Koiné’s Primitivo di Manduria. Hailing from the “heel” of Italy’s “boot," this Primitivo has enough body and depth to pair with all of your favorite summer meats. I found a fresh and jammy blend of red, black, and blue fruit. Additionally, it shows a mineral and leathery undertone and full body helped support the complexity and backbone of this wine. This wine will appeal to a wide audience and the 2017 vintage is ready to drink. Cin cin.
