Great news !

Thanks for the illuminating article. I never came across a primitivo that resembled a zinfandel. The Italian always seemed to me on the drier side less alcoholic with a somehow softer tannins.

Some Italian wines such as Rocca Alta do carry both names on the label but the higher quality wines usually stick to primitivo.

I have tasted some nice blends of Negroamaro and primitivo by Promesa. They provide a very smooth texture in wines like the Salento 2001.

cheers,
