Piantaferro Primitivo
Primitivo, also known as Zinfandel, is a natural sponge-like grape, jam-packed with flavour after soaking up the Sicilian sunshine. The immediate aroma is sweet, with upfront fruit dark berries, raisins, black cherry and red liquorice. It is very round with aromas and flavours of chocolate and anise. Soft sweet tannins add to its lushness.

Vinicola Tombacco
Located in Trebaseleghe, a small rural town close to Padua, Venice and Treviso, Vinicola Tombacco is set just in the heart of DOC and IGT regions. Tombacco Winery has been working actively in the wine market since the beginning of the twentieth-century. It was born simply as a farm and was qualified just for the production of various fruits. Since the very beginning, the motivation has been their love for the earth and tradition. In 1919, encouraged by the many results, the company decided to direct its efforts to include the wine market so it started with the planting of vineyards and the production of its own wine. Once established Vinicola Tombacco took a more commercial course under brothers Cristian and Andrea Tombacco and has recently implemented its own sophisticated bottling and research plant to continue to meet its customers requirements.Be the first to review “Piantaferro Primitivo”
