The 2023 Primo Estate Zamberlan is a bold and distinctive McLaren Vale red, crafted as a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese using the traditional Italian ripasso method. Inspired by northern Italian winemaking, this technique adds depth, richness and complexity, creating a uniquely structured and expressive wine. The nose is intense and layered, showing ripe blackberry, cassis and dark forest fruits, complemented by notes of nutmeg spice, dark chocolate and subtle tobacco.
On the palate, it is full-bodied and richly textured, with firm tannins supporting a core of concentrated dark fruit. The Sangiovese brings freshness and a lift of cherry and savoury character, leading to a long, complex and structured finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a standout for customers who enjoy powerful, Amarone-inspired reds with depth and complexity. It’s ideal for those looking for something bold yet balanced with an Italian twist. Drink now with decanting or cellar for 8–12 years. Perfect with steak, braised meats or rich Italian dishes.
