Primitivo is a dark-skinned grape known for producing tannic wines and for its Dolce Naturale variant, naturally sweet. A classic Primitivo wine is rich in alcohol and tannins, with an intense flavor and deep color. In Manduria the fortified liqueur-style variants often reach an alcohol content of 18%, which is reduced to 14% in table wines. A certain bitterness is often found in Primitivo which, together with its mouth-curling tannins, means it needs a few years both in bottle and in barrel. Although there have been controversial and long-standing debates about the geographical origins of the variety, there is no doubt that the modern home of Primitivo is in southern Italy, particularly Puglia. It likely arrived there from the coastal vineyards of Croatia, where it is still cultivated today, under various fanciful names including Tribidrag and Crljenak Kasteljanski. At the beginning of the 19th century, the variety was introduced in the United States, under the name Zinfandel. It has been hugely successful there, earning the reputation of America's "national grape". It caused considerable consternation on both sides of the Atlantic when DNA analysis showed that Zinfandel and Primitivo were the same variety.

Every product available on the marketplace is listed and sold by a partner seller indicated on the product page. The platform acts as a metasearch/marketplace: it facilitates discovery and checkout, but the sale is carried out by the seller, who becomes the party responsible for the transaction.
Shipping is handled directly by the seller partner. The package leaves the seller's warehouse, or its logistics network, and is handed over to the carrier. This model enables more efficient deliveries and ensures that order management is handled by those who actually have the product available.
On the product page you will find ingredients, allergens and nutritional information according to the data provided by the seller or manufacturer, i.e. the official label.
