It is true that Primitivo is the same grape as Zinfandel, or its Croatian name Tribidrag. For as many names as it has, it has that many styles as well. This wine is not the Zinfandel that I think of when I think of big, over ripe, jammy Zinfandels. This wine is super bright and fresh bursting with strawberry deliciousness, just barely ripe plum and black cherry with a dark brambly blackberry streak running through it. High acid, mouth watering and refreshing, this wine is light on its feet and can stand a little chill.
