Giustini “Patù” Primitivo 2024 from Salento IGP in Puglia is a deep, ruby‑red southern Italian red that packs in richness, warmth and a real sense of coastal sunshine in the glass. This Giustini Patù Primitivo 2024 is 100% Primitivo, raised in stainless steel to showcase pure, dark fruit and supple tannins without heavy oak.

The nose is loaded with blackberries, ripe plums and mixed berries, layered with cherries, wild herbs and a balsamic lift. On the palate it is full‑bodied and velvety, with sweet, ripe tannins, generous black and red fruits, hints of dried herbs and spice, and a long, lingering finish that stays plush yet nicely balanced by freshness. It is rich and intense but still wonderfully drinkable.

This is spot‑on with grilled beef, chargrilled lamb, slow‑cooked ragu, osso buco and venison, as well as hearty barbecues and aged hard cheeses. It also sings alongside wood‑fired pizza with rich toppings or baked eggplant and other robust Mediterranean vegetarian dishes where its fruit and spice soak up all that savoury goodness.
