Into my second month in Italy, mostly in Apulia and while I'm mostly drinking rose' and whites, I have had at least a few Primotivos (both Zin and Primotivo are clones from the same varietal).

From what I've read, Primotivo gets ripe earlier...maybe this is why it tastes so different. Not the typical CA fruit bomb, but way more restrained in style. One bottle I was drinking was 13% abv. Anyone remember a CA Zin under 15?

Style? Clone? Temperature? Trellising differences? Probably a little of each. But different for sure.
