Biglietto Primitivo Puglia IGT 2024 | StraItalian

An elegant Primitivo that perfectly captures the warmth and character of Puglia.

Biglietto literally means "ticket" – a ticket to discovering Italy's hidden wine treasures. With this collection, Straitalian invites you on a journey through remarkable wine regions, where indigenous grape varieties, tradition and modern craftsmanship come together.

This Primitivo from Puglia demonstrates why the grape has become the signature of Southern Italy. Benefiting from the region's warm Mediterranean climate, the grapes develop rich fruit concentration, while careful winemaking preserves elegance and balance. The result is a modern Primitivo that is approachable, yet full of depth and character.

The wine opens with intense aromas of ripe cherries and dried plums, followed by refined notes of coffee, dark chocolate and a subtle hint of mint. On the palate, it is silky smooth, juicy and fruit-driven, with refreshing acidity that keeps the wine beautifully balanced and leads to a long, elegant finish.
