A few sips of Masso Antico Primitivo and I’m dancing in the aisles, giggling like a schoolboy. I like to say that primitivo is the Italian version of what we know as zinfandel. Actually, primitivo and zinfandel are both clones of a Croatian grape called Crljenak. That’s enough of that mumbo jumbo. At $12.99, you can’t pass up buying a six-pack and taking advantage of the new 10 percent discount. Lots of blueberry and elderberry flavors with little raspberry kisses on the finish.
