Details
Well well well... Primitivo just put on a tailored jacket and poured itself into a glass. Costellazioni is Primitivo doing what Primitivo does best - showing up ripe, smooth, and ready to charm your socks off. This one’s packed with all the greatest hits: dried figs, baked berries, a swirl of chocolate, and just enough leather to make you feel like you’re sipping it in an old Italian library. It’s juicy, plush, and dangerously easy to keep pouring. Textbook? Maybe. Tempting? Absolutely.

In the sun-drenched heart of Puglia, where olive groves stretch to the horizon and the breeze smells faintly of wild herbs and sea spray, you’ll find Tenuta Viglione - a family-run winery with deep roots and serious vision where the Zullo family have been cultivating vineyards since 1937. Whilst Primitivo has made it's name of the hall-of-fame, Puglia still holds a few aces up its sun-tanned sleeve - grapes like Susumaniello and Negroamaro, local treasures that are just getting their global moment. This is where Costellazioni comes in: Tenuta Viglione’s premium label, crafted to showcase these varieties at their most elegant, expressive, and celestial (yes, the name literally means constellations). Each wine in the Costellazioni range is a nod to the stars above and the soil below - sustainable, wild yeast, organically grown, and vegan. It’s serious wine with a soul - and a lot of swagger! So while we can’t teleport you to a lounge chair by the pool at the Viglione wine resort (believe us, we wish we could), we can instead bring a bit of that Puglian magic to your glass. So the stars really do align!

Pairing guide
This Primitivo is basically your charismatic Italian uncle - loud, warm, maybe a little leathery, and always turning up with a tray of something delicious. It’s bold and totally ready to party with rich, hearty dishes. Perfect matches include: Slow-cooked beef ragù (bonus points if it's piled high on fresh pappardelle). Sticky BBQ ribs, or roast aubergine with tahini and pomegranate for a smoky veg option that plays nice with the wine’s sweet-savory balance. Or go full Puglian and serve it with bombette - little pork rolls stuffed with cheese and grilled to perfection. Whatever you do, serve this wine with flavour.

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.
