Primitivo

The blue grape primitivo is mainly found in Apulia, but we also find the variety in Basilicata. Primitivo is a grape par excellence that is suitable for warm temperatures.

In Apulia, primitivo traditionally served as bulk or blended wine. After serious setbacks in the past due to the European wine crisis, this variety has fortunately regained popularity in recent years and is being replanted by producers.

We find dry wines from Primitivo within the DOC Gioia del Colle appellations (the cradle of the variety in Apulia) and DOC Primitivo di Manduria. In addition, (slightly) sweet and even fortified wines are also produced. This variety has a high content of natural sugars.

One last tidbit: In 1967, a visiting American scientist discovered that primitivo and the California grape zinfandel were in fact identical. After years of scientific research, it was discovered that both are descended from the Croatian grape tribidrag.
