Our Price
The 2018 'Imperio LXXIV' by Feudo Croce features 100% Primitivo - aka Zinfandel - from the warm and sunny 'heel' of Italy's boot. The region's DOP reds are known for their dark fruit richness, and this bottling is a prime example with its palate of blackberry jam, chocolate-covered raisin, sweet spice, and balsamic woodiness. Tannins that are both dusty and chewy linger on the finish alongside hints of dried laurel, making the wine incredibly food-friendly and ready for your immediate enjoyment!
