Black Primitivo IGP Puglia Tiati Cantine Teanum 2024

Origin of the Grape Variety
The history of Primitivo stretches back into ancient times. It likely arrived in Italy from across the Adriatic, brought by the Illyrians—an ancient Balkan people devoted to viticulture. The first reliable historical records of the grape date to the second half of the 18th century, when Don Francesco Filippo Indellicati, a church official in Gioia del Colle, observed that among the many vines in his vineyards, one variety ripened earlier than the others and produced particularly dark, sweet, and flavorful grapes. He selected and propagated these vines, planting the first single-varietal vineyard of what became known as “Primitivo” (then also referred to as “Primaticcio”).
