Duca Petraccone Primitivo 2005Heroic, old vine Primitivo with Gold medal richness
Heartwarmingly rich, Duca Petraccone - our greatest ever Italian discovery - is packed with black fruit flavours … plus the quality assurance of three awards including a coveted Gold.
We couldn't wait to taste Duca Petraccone when senior buyer Thomas Woolrych declared this his best find yet. After all, level-headed Thomas is not one for hyperbole and his many other Italian finds would take some beating …
But he's right, this trumps the lot! It's pure Primitivo - "a hero in southern Italy" The Sunday Times - and comes from the Collucis, family winemakers in Martina Franca for generations.
"Deep ruby colour and powerful aromas of spiced dark fruit. The grapes of old vines (70 years-plus!) gives mouthfilling blackberry richness and ripe, food-friendly tannins. Superb with steak or hearty casseroles."
Customer Reviews for Duca Petraccone Primitivo
Mr R E Toplis, Essex
"We had this wine with our three bird roast (A Phesant stuffed with a Duck stuffed with wood pidgeon) at Christmas. It was a fantastic match. The wine is rich but not heavy like some New World wines. Try it with venison sausages!"
