Business Tourism - Your Professional Guide.








A Croatian grape variety, at one time represented by only a handful of vines in a few scattered Dalmatian vineyards, accounts for nearly 12 per cent of American wine sales each year?

This variety, known in Dalmatia as Crljenak Kaštelanski, probably migrated to Puglia, in the heel of Italy, sometime before the 1750s, where it gained renown as an early-ripening grape called Primitivo, which produced a robust (read: highly alcoholic) red wine. Originally, Primitivo was used to ´beef up´ some of the thinner (read: less alcoholic) wines produced in Tuscany, although it is now coming into its own as a single varietal wine.
