Primitivo

Primitivo

Primitivo was at the centre of a significant ampelographic mystery towards the end of last century that eventually identified its connection with both California’s Zinfandel and Croatia’s Plavac Mali, but also reaffirmed its unique clonal expression in Puglia. Primitivo is primarily a Puglian affair (with a small concentration also in Campania); a thin-skinned grape that produces deeply flavoured wine in the dark fruit spectrum, often with plush texture, powerful fruit expression and a soft structure.
