Which came first? The chicken or the egg? Or more to the point: which came first, Primitivo or Zinfandel? For years now, wine lovers have been scratching their heads as they ponder this conundrum. There is no doubt that Primitivo and Zinfandel are nearly identical (this fact has been genetically proven). It is not clear, however, where the grape originated and were it was first cultivated. Enological debates aside, Primitivo di Manduria from Puglia (the top appellation for Primitivo) is a richly flavored wine with good acidity. A perfect food wine to match with the acidity of tomatoes. The producers of Cantastorie (meaning "bard" in Italian) make this wine in the traditional manner: no barrique and none of the concentration that you find in the California style.
