Primitivo / Zinfandel
Primitivo (or Zinfandel as it known in the US), is a black grape variety of Croatian origin, now widely grown in the south-eastern Italian region of Puglia. It produces intensely concentrated wines, with velvety tannins and a balance between red and black fruit flavours, such as plums, boysenberry and forest fruits. It is most often seen (and enjoys the most success) as a single varietal wine.
