Teanum Otre Primitivo I.G.P.

Primitivo: Of uncertain origin, its introduction into Apulia may perhaps be traced back to the Phoenician and Greek colonization.
However, it should be pointed out that this selection was carried out within the “old local vineyards”; therefore, the vine was already known in the area during that time, since it could be found in old vineyards of the late 18th century. Primitivo is identical to Zinfandel.
