Napoleon is a black seeded grape, very sweet and delicious due to its high brix level, more than 18.

It’s no wonder that Puglia’s two prime grapes – Negroamaro and Primitivo – are praised for the deep and rich flavours of their wines. Primitivo is not just used to craft single-varietal wines, but also to add body and alcohol to red blends. A lot of Italian Primitivo is now aged in American oak, to give it a flavour similar to the famous red Zinfandels from popular regions like Lodi in California. Even better, from 1999 Italian exporters were allowed to label Primitivo as Zinfandel – although few choose to do this, it was still excellent publicity. It is still used very widely today, as you can see in my photo of alberello-trained Primitivo vines in Manduria.While single varietal wines are popular, some of the best reds of the region are blends – labelled as Salento IGT Rosso.

Prime Hydration produces a variety of energy drinks, sports drinks, and drink mixes containing varying levels of caffeine, electrolytes, and added micronutrients. In other Italian regions, where the terrain is dominated by hills and mountains, farmers plant their premium vines on hillsides. Finally, the device also provides insights into your hydration levels, which can be used to make lifestyle changes and improve your overall health.It has large, elongated purple-black berries with a crunchy skin, firm texture and a pleasant, distinctive flavour. After spending three to five years in the cellar, high-quality Primitivo wine will offer pleasant flavours from ageing and development.
