Zinfandel

Zinfandel (also known as Primitivo) is a variety of black-skinned wine grape. The variety is grown in over 10 per cent of California vineyards. DNA testing has revealed that it is genetically equivalent to the Croatian grapes of Crljenak Kaštelanski and Tribidrag, as well as to the Primitivo variety traditionally grown in Apulia (the "heel" of Italy) where it was introduced in the 18th century. The grape found its way to the United States in the mid-19th century where it became known by variations of the name "Zinfandel", a name of uncertain origin.
