Details
When you are searching the pantry for that mid-week wine and wondering what doesn’t take itself too seriously, yet is still delicious, this is your wine. An equal blend of two local varieties, Negroamaro and Primitivo, this has a bit of everything with upfront rich red fruit and a nice layer of spice.
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.

Pairing guide
Negroamaro is one of those classic Italian red wine varieties that’s often overlooked in the rest of the world. However, this tide is most definitely turning - wines of this quality and versatility are making their way down under, ready to delight your senses and level up your culinary explorations! We reckon this is a top wine for pairing with lamb chops in a rich tomato sauce, as well as with homemade meatballs (or veggie alternatives featuring black beans or smoked tofu), smash burgers and anything featuring plenty of chopped salami or pancetta. Lasagna, stuffed mushrooms and duck or lamb ragu would also hit the spot perfectly.

Wine region

Puglia, Italy
Puglia is a wine region in the "heel" of Italy that is known for its red, white, and rosé wines. The full-bodied red wines are often made with Negroamaro and Primitivo grapes, while the whites are usually made with Verdeca and Fiano grapes. Puglia has a hot, sunny climate which helps the grapes ripen fully and gives the wines a rich flavour. The region is also home to some unique grape varieties, like Nero di Troia and Bombino Nero. So, if you're a fan of Italian wine, definitely give Puglia a try! Historically Puglia has been better known for its quantity of wine over its quality. But thanks to a number of quality-focused producers, the region is turning that narrative around.
