Primitivo—closely related to California’s Zinfandel—has long been one of the region’s signature grapes, and this bottling puts its ripe, generous character centre stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDeep and dark in appearance, with an intense aroma of ripe fruit, accompanied by hints of tobacco, chocolate and coffee. The palate is full and powerful, bringing sweet, ripe blackberry and forest-berry flavours together with notes of liquorice, vanilla and chocolate from oak ageing.\n\nEnjoy it for its generous fruit and spice while those flavours are expressive; no specific bottle-ageing window is provided.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMade from Primitivo in Puglia, in the Salento area, Cubardi is aged for six months in medium-toast French oak barrels.

Given its concentration and oak influence, decanting for 30–60 minutes can help open up the aromas; pour carefully from the large-format bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSchola Sarmenti was founded to preserve Salento’s winemaking heritage and maintain a close connection with its land and generations of local growers.
