<< do you know that Zinfandel's origins are in Puglia? In Gioia del Colle and
Manduria, near Adriatic and Jonic sea.  Under very dry and windy hills of
"Murgia"
Zinfandel is OUR "Primitivo"! >>

Sorry Michelle is not true according to DNA results.  Croatia and Italy both 
have some similar grapes.  Reference UC Venticultural dept. at. Davis.
