Kangarilla Road Fleurieu Primitivo 2006

Product Information

This is a mysterious grape variety, calling USA home since 1822 when a Long Island nurseryman imported cuttings from Europe. For a while it was known as "Black St. Peters" and sold as a table grape variety. To this day the origins of the naming of Zinfandel remain unknown. In a quest to find its real identity, researchers discovered the Italian variety Primivitoto be identical, but Italy is not Zinfandel's home. It wasn't until late 2001 that scientists agreed that Croatia was the historical origins of Zinfandel. Dark and brooding wine, with intense raisin and plum fruits a hint of spice and lovely juicy tannins. A big wine in all departments.
