Primitivo and Negroamaro are the two major wine grapes of Puglia in the south of Italy. When you're there you can buy either very cheaply and get great quality. Puglia is lovely, and not quite overrun by tourism as yet. Quite a lot of cheaper Primitivo from Italy is fairly stern stuff. The Peuceta from Lidl at £4.99 is a steal, and Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Primitivo from Salento is very nice, usually at about seven quid, or six on offer. If you like Primitivo you'll love Negroamaro. By far the best cheapie is Asda's Wine Atlas Negroamaro at £5.68. M&S Negroamaro, with its very subdued label, is a beauty, but it's eight quid, so we wait until it's 25% off six before stocking up. Any of the aforementioned will enhance the Bach experience, as long as not overdone...
