Arguably more well known by its alter-ego Zinfandel, Primitivo is a huge, ripe Italian grape which is the pride of the Apulia region in the south of Italy.

Primitivo is a delightfully brash wine that's very dark, very juicy and very high in alcohol.

The grape is thought to have originated in Croatia, where it is known as Crljenak (shill-ee-ah-nock). It was then brought to Italy, and on to the United States in the 1800s.

Primitivo's are very well known for being full-bodied fruit bombs.
