Primitivo has found its way into the hearts of a lot of Australians with its ripe, upfront fruit and spicy tones that appeal to our Shiraz loving palates. This Primitivo from Tenuta Viglione is a belter with prunes and liquorice on the nose along with dried herbs and a touch of spice. The palate is ripe and plush with red fruits and liquorice along with rounded, supple tannins.

Tenuta Viglione is located in the heart of Puglia in southern Italy, where the beaches are stunning and the sun equally ideal. Puglia is home to varieties that have found a natural home in Australia, like Fiano and Primitivo. However, behind this, there are a host of other varieties that will become household names in a handful of years, like Verdeca and Nero Di Troia. This is where we introduce Tenuta Viglione, where the Zullo family has been operating since 1937. The Zullo family have cultivated the perfect place that combines wine with a little bit of luxury in the form of the resort on-site. Aside from laying by a pool in the sun with a glass of local fermented grape juice in one hand and a plate of antipasto in the other, the brand hosts various labels representing classic Puglian varieties. The “Circles” label is where we found the true sweet spot, and we are pleased to offer our GPD customer base a delightful package of wines for those who wish they were in southern Italy right now.
