Masseria Altemura 'Apulo' Primitivo 2021

91 POINTS & 4.5 STARS: Sam Kim; The Wine Orbit
93 POINTS: Wine Direct Tasting Team

"Sweetly ripe and fragrant with dark plum, thyme, tapenade and almond notes, it's succulent and silky in the mouth delivering plump mouthfeel and velvety tannins. Generous and supple with a lingering tasty finish. At its best: now to 2027."
- Sam Kim, The Wine Orbit

Masseria Altemura is owned by one of the most prominent vine- growers and wine producers in Italy, the Zonin family.

Since 1821, seven generations have dedicated their craftmanship to deliver continued excellence in wine production. Masseria Altemura lies in the heart of the Salento Peninsula, almost equidistant from Puglia’s two seas: the Ionian (20 km) and the Adriatic (16 km), in the famous wine area of Primitivo di Manduria. A unique location where the breezes of two seas meet and contribute to the creation of an extraordinary microclimate. Today the estate extends for 270 ha and encompasses the ancient masseria, the winery, the vineyards and the olive trees in one single unit.

Chardonnay fan

Excellent flavour at a excellent price

Finest Zinfandel—True Californian Class.

Quality is consistent. Deeper bouquet and flavor than most Cali Zins. The Earth tones come thru beautifully about two years from Vintage. Wonderful
Red to contemplate on its own or with good food.

Smooth drinking wine and great value for money.

Outstanding

Elegant, well-balanced and fantastic value for money!

chianti at a good price- good value for everyday drinking

Not quite in same class as recent chianti from Wine Direct released earlier this year-but also half the price. Excellent value for a red wine: you don't have to worry about finding a superior food to match at this excellent price.
Hard pushed to find a NZ red at this price/quality ratio!
