Primitivo
Primitivo is one of Southern Italy's leading red grapes
whose origins date back to the 18th century and to the Dalmatian Coast, from
where it was brought to Puglia.
Recent research has revealed its kin to have also been shipped to California from Croatia to be renamed as Zinfandel. Certainly both varieties show a propensity towards high sugar/alcohol content & wild berry character. Primitivo is now focused around Puglia and Campania. Notable producers include Fatalone.

A glimpse of the potential of this southern belle of a variety. While its American cousin, Zinfandel, tends to get hot, bothered and raisiny all too readily, Puglia’s Primitivo seems to soak up the Mediterranean sun while staying cool and composed. What an exciting (Australian) take ... MORE Drink 2008-2010 . | ||||
