American Zinfandel and its Italian genetic cousin Primitivo (Puglia) share an exuberant profile: stewed dark fruit, blackberry, plum, sweet spice, generous alcohol (14–16%). This category also covers fruit-forward, structured Italian reds — Chianti, Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, Nero d’Avola.
A wide, deep bowl shows the opulent fruit and balances the alcoholic warmth. These generous wines want generous food: grilled meats, charcuterie, pizza and pasta in red sauce. Serve at 16–18°C.
