		<description><![CDATA[&#8230; and I believe that is what Nerosso means. This southern Italian wine has an ancient heritage consisting of some of the oldest varietals in Puglia (pronounced pool&#8217; ya and geographically speaking&#8211;Italy’s long stiletto heel); a blend of Primitivo, Negro Amaro, Malvasia, and Uva di Troia .  Primitivo is genetically identical to our Zinfandel, but [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=libationstation.wordpress.com&blog=5553801&post=723&subd=libationstation&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
