PRIMITIVO  is the name of the variety that is grown in the region of  PUGLIA (Apuglia in Czech). The name is probably derived from biological cycles. This is the variety that blooms first and is also the first to be harvested, at the beginning of the week of September. In Italian it is said "primo" and from that derives the name "primitivo". Genetically identical to the California Zinfandel variety. The Primitivo variety is probably of Croatian origin, similar to varieties such as Crljenka Kaštelanski, Tribidrag or Plavac Mali grown mainly on the Pelješač peninsula.

Why do I like it?

The distinct taste will dazzle fans of southern Italian wines and especially the Primitivo variety. Very interesting ratio between quality and price. Distinct notes of red fruit, jam and baked plums.
