Primitivo grape variety - Origin of premium wine (Part 1)

Wine is an increasingly popular wine in Vietnam. Beyond the enjoyment value or the healthy factors, the wine also shows the level of the drinker. Today, with True Wine, we find the source of great wine drops – Primitivo grape.

Origin of Primitivo grapes

Primitivo grapes are red grapes grown in the country of Puglia. This grape variety when ripe has an attractive dark black color. This is especially the case when it comes to producing rich wines like Liquorosol. The wines from this grape variety have a more bitter taste as well as a higher tannin content than other wines.

A good example of a wine made from this grape variety is Liquorosol. Liquorosol bottles usually have an alcohol content of up to 18%. This leads to a longer aging process than usual.

To this day, the true origin of this grape variety remains a controversial mystery in the wine world. Currently, southern Italy – Puglia is the region known to grow a lot of these grapes. There are many theories that this grape variety was introduced from the Gulf of Croatia through sea-going merchants. The evidence is that in this region today many grapes with similar characteristics to Primitivo such as Crljenak Kasteljanski are grown.

In the history of the wine-growing regions, this grape variety has encountered many violent fluctuations. Since the 90s of the last century, the grape growing regions have competed with each other and increasingly made this grape variety less and less in terms of area. Until this century in Europe, only the fields in Italy remained, where you could see this grape variety.

In the US there is a grape variety called Zinfandel. It is a fact shown by genetic studies that these grape varieties are related to each other. The popularity and success of Zinfandel helped rebuild the reputation of Primitivo.

It is fortunate that in the 21st century we can enjoy premium wines from Primitivo.
