Zensa Primitivo, Puglia – Organic

The organic Zensa range is made by Alessandro Michelon of Orion Wines. He is one of Italy’s most innovative winemakers working with selected growers and indigenous grapes that express the character of their region. Zensa means “without” or “to do without” in Italian, and this superb organic wine is made without pesticides and fertilisers. The grapes are sourced from organic vineyards in Puglia where the vines are grown as free-standing bush vines.

This powerful, rich wine is full-bodied with aromas of over-ripe cherries, summer fruits, plum spices and chocolate.  On the palate, are flavours of dried and black fruits with hints of spice; finishing with an excellent balance.
