Deluca Primitivo is a deep ruby-red colored wine, made from Primitivo grapes grown in the Puglia region, often described as the heel of Italy.  This medium-bodied wine boasts aromas of ripe black cherry, blackberries, and chocolate with a firm tannic palate guiding the red fruits that emerge.

The Primitivo grape is actually Zinfandel (https://www.vivino.com/wine-news/the-origin-of-zinfandel-and-primitivo). It originated in Croatia (Tribidrag) and made its way to Italy many moons ago.  The grape has become a California classic and only recently has it become popular in this up and coming wine region of Italy.  It grows beautifully in Puglia producing an intensely colored wine with matching intensity on the nose and palate.
