Primitivo is a type of red grape which has been called many things, but is also known as the father of the Zinfandel grape, now so popular in California. In recent years, DNA studies at the University of California at Davis show that the Zinfandel grape is the same as the Primitivo grape grown in southeastern Italy’s Puglia region.  Characteristics associated with Primitivo are deeply colored wines with rich, concentrated flavors of zesty cherry, clove, wild blackberry, raspberry and spice.
