Ever since it turned out that the Primitivo grown in the heel of Italian boots is the same as one of the world’s favorite California varieties, the international popularity of the wine has begun to rise sharply. Let’s give a try to this really special drink!
In Puglia, the weather is very sunny, and the Primitivo is perfect for transforming sunlight into an ink-black, powerful, aroma-rich, and tannic wine. The name of the grape comes from the fact that it ripens earlier than other varieties. The wine made from it is dark and full-bodied, with spicy, velvety tannins and lively acids. Tasting a Primitivo is a literal pleasure, as it rivals the Porto in terms of alcohol content. In the company of friends or a good book, it will be a perfect choice!
