Our Aussie palates yearn for big and juicy reds. It's no secret that down at the southern end of Italy they specialise in this same style. Rich fruit, mouth-coating tannin and a long finish form a direct line between Italy and South Australia, all for the benefit of you, Mofo.

Why do we love this wine?
In the heel of the boot that is Italy (Puglia for those beholden to actual names), primitivo is arguably the leading red grape. You might already know that it’s genetically identical to zinfandel, California’s famous wine. It’s a grape that adapts well to a variety of terroirs, showing something different depending on the origin. In Puglia, primitivo tends toward rich, full-bodied and dark in fruit (think blackberries, figs and blueberries). This one from La Bollina takes that profile a bit further with some extra complexity to the tune of plum, cherry, rosemary and vanilla. It’s big, bold and luscious, making it the perfect Italian counterpart to our rich South Aussie shiraz.
