Zensa Primitivo IGP Puglia Organico is presented as an organic, full-bodied red that carries a warm, inviting presence in the glass. This expression shows a concentrated personality while remaining approachable, with a clear sense of ripe fruit and gentle structure. Its label signals a Primitivo style and organic production, and the wine is listed with an alcohol content of 14%.
On sight the wine displays a deep, garnet to ruby hue that suggests ripe red and dark fruit at the core of its profile. The colour intensity hints at good extraction and a compact mid-palate, inviting the nose and palate to explore layered aromas and flavours.
The nose leans toward generous, ripe fruit characters with notes of dark berry and plum complemented by warm spice and a touch of dried herb and earthiness. Aromatic depth gives a sense of roundness rather than sharpness, balancing fruit sweetness with savory undertones.
This Primitivo is full-bodied on the palate, with weighty fruit, smooth tannins and a balanced acidity that keeps the richness from becoming cloying. The finish is persistent with lingering spice and fruit echoes, offering a satisfying conclusion to each sip.
Tasting profile and structure
The wine is defined by ripe dark fruit flavours that sit front and centre, suggesting blackberry, plum and darker cherry elements without being overly jammy.
Its body is full and generous, carrying concentrated flavour across the mid-palate with a plush texture and measured tannic grip.
Acidity provides freshness and balance, helping to lift the fruit and avoid heaviness while supporting the wine’s length on the finish.
The overall structure makes this a wine that reads as bold yet balanced, where fruit intensity and structural elements work together rather than compete.
Serving and food pairings
Serve this full-bodied red at around 15–20 °C to best reveal its aromatic breadth and to soften the perception of alcohol while maintaining flavour clarity.
Classic matches include grilled or roasted beef and rich meat dishes that complement the wine’s depth and tannic support.
Hard and semi-hard cheeses perform well alongside this wine; aged cheeses add savoury contrast while creamier varieties highlight the wine’s fruit.
Poultry such as roast chicken or turkey with herb-forward seasoning pairs neatly, where the wine’s spice and fruit bring warmth and roundness to the plate.
For relaxed occasions, savoury snacks, charcuterie and tomato-based small plates make easy, flavourful companions that echo the wine’s bright fruit and spice notes.
