Giulio Straccali Primitivo

Giulio Straccali Primitivo - Puglia, Italy

Producer's Notes: 

Ruby red in colour. The nose is intense and broad with fruity aromas of blackberry, raspberry and cherry. The palate is soft with good structure. It has a pleasant freshness and good aromatic persistence.

What we say:

A smooth, fruit-forward red from southern Italy, Giulio Straccali’s Primitivo delivers all the warmth and generosity the region is known for. Crafted in an approachable, modern style, it highlights ripe fruit, supple tannins, and easy-drinking charm - making it a great everyday Italian red with broad appeal.

The nose opens with aromas of blackberry, plum, and cherry compote, accented by hints of sweet spice and a touch of vanilla. On the palate, it’s medium-to-full bodied with soft tannins, juicy dark fruit, and a rounded texture that leads into a pleasantly warm, smooth finish. Rich without heaviness, it’s a versatile wine that pairs beautifully with hearty fare.
