Uphill Vineyards Primitivo Amador County 750ml

Uphill Vineyards Primitivo is a red wine crafted from estate-grown Primitivo grapes at Uphill Vineyards in Fiddletown, California, nestled in the Sierra Nevada Foothills of Amador County at approximately 2,400 feet elevation. Primitivo is an Italian red grape variety closely related to Zinfandel, known for producing rich, fruit-forward wines with deep color and generous body.

This Amador County Primitivo showcases the bold, ripe fruit character typical of the Sierra Foothills appellation, with notes of dark berry, plum, and blackberry complemented by hints of spice and earthy complexity. The high-altitude vineyard site contributes to balanced acidity and concentrated flavors. Uphill Vineyards is a family-operated winery run by Beth and Ira Rosenthal, dedicated to estate-grown varietals that reflect the unique terroir of Amador County.

The wine pairs well with hearty pasta dishes with tomato-based sauces, pizza, grilled meats, and aged cheeses. Uphill Vineyards' Primitivo has received recognition including a Double Gold Medal at the California State Fair.
