Bold, Ripe & Unmistakably Southern Italian
Doppio Passo Primitivo Puglia is crafted using the ancient Primitivo grape at the very heel of Italy, where intense sunshine and warm Mediterranean breezes produce fruit of extraordinary richness. The wine takes its name from the traditional double-pass drying technique, which concentrates the sugars and flavours before fermentation.
Deep ruby with a violet edge, it is packed with ripe cherry, plum and blackberry, with sweet spice and a smooth, velvety finish. Full-bodied yet approachable, this is a wine made for big flavours — ideal with grilled lamb, slow-cooked pasta dishes, or a generous cheese board.

Where This Wine Comes From
Grown by Botter in Puglia, Italy — Primitivo, shaped by the soils and seasons it calls home. Bottled at the heart of Puglia.
Primitivo
Puglia's powerhouse red, genetically identical to Zinfandel. Dense, rich and fruity.
A lovely red, full of flavour and body. Delicious with steaks and pasta alike.

This Primitivo is waaaay above the equivalent you would be able to buy in a supermarket at a comparable price point.
It pairs really well with Lasagna and rich meaty pasta dishes. Stands up well with strong flavours, such as garlic.
In fact it would pair well with a beef stew from any country, goulash etc.
It is also a lovely velvety wine that could be enjoyed on its own after the meal.
Fantastic value and easy drinking, in a good way.

Thanks so much, Lisa — we’re delighted you enjoyed it! The Doppio Passo Primitivo from Puglia is one of our most popular Italian reds, loved for its rich, smooth style, ripe dark fruit flavours and velvety finish.
Doppio. Passo is always my first choice for a crowd pleaser. Smooth and round on the palate and a delight with roast beef.

Lovely full bodied wine
Hi Wendy, thank you for your kind review. The Doppio Passo Primitivo is a lovely full-bodied wine indeed — rich, smooth and always a pleasure to open. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.
A very decent wine and a great all rounder
Hi Andrew, Many thanks for taking the time to leave a review. Doppio Passo Primitivo is indeed a very reliable all-rounder, full of generous, rounded fruit, and we’re delighted you enjoyed it. We hope to see you again soon.
Have had this at an Italian restaurant several time and went looking for a place to buy. Found it at the wine shop at a good price. Delivery and packing excellent. Would recommend both wine and supplier!
Thank you, Stephen — we’re so pleased you found us and that Doppio Passo lived up to the memories from the restaurant! It’s a fantastic Primitivo from Puglia’s sun-drenched heel of Italy, offering great depth and value. Our packaging is designed to make sure your wines arrive safely and is made entirely from 100% recycled materials. We really appreciate your recommendation and kind words about our service.
We can’t get enough of this Passo Dopio Primitivo. It has everything; full bodied, lots of fruit, and a slightly spicy finish. Can’t believe this is a 2024, if you were to lay it down for a year or two it will certainly mellow and become even more delicious. It goes with everything. Great value too, with fast delivery.
Thank you, Robert — what a wonderful review! We’re so pleased you’re enjoying the Doppio Passo Primitivo. It’s a real customer favourite for exactly those reasons: full-bodied, beautifully ripe and great value. Sourced from Italy’s sun-drenched Puglia region, on the heel of Italy, it truly captures the warmth and depth this area is famed for. Primitivo wines from Puglia are celebrated for their rich, smooth style — and this is a perfect example.
We really enjoyed drinking this very quaffable bottle.
Thank you, Mrs MoosieMooMuddle — we’re so pleased you loved the Doppio Passo Primitivo Puglia! It’s such a crowd-pleasing Italian red, full of ripe dark fruit, smooth tannins and that signature Primitivo warmth. A wonderfully easy-drinking wine that pairs beautifully with pasta, pizza or a relaxed evening in.
I first tasted this in a restaurant in the summer and immediately looked for the source. I purchased a first 12 bottles from the Wione Shop, and have just repeated the order. I have been extreamly please with the smoothness and consitency of the taste between the initial tasting and all of the 12 bottles from the wine shop. Thank you for finding this exceptional wine and a very realistic price.
Thanks so much, Colin — that’s really lovely to hear. The Doppio Passo Primitivo from Puglia is such a smooth, generous red and it’s great to know you’ve enjoyed it just as much at home as when you first tried it. It’s one of our most popular Italian wines for good reason — rich, consistent and excellent value.
Smooth versatile red wine. Recommended

Had this wine in Italy and it is just as good here the wife very happy 😊
Thanks, Mark! Thrilled Doppio Passo Primitivo Puglia tastes just as good as in Italy — and even better that it’s a hit at home. It’s one of our most loved Italian red wines, and we’re always glad to recommend more Puglia favourites when you’re ready.
A deliciously smooth red wine. Very drinkable with and without food. Highly recommend.
Thanks, Kate! We’re so pleased you enjoyed the rich and smooth style of Doppio Passo Primitivo, a popular red wine from Puglia, Italy

The Doppio Passo Primitivo is my favourite wine from the wine shop at this price level. Dark red cherry's and silky smooth, it's a wine that you can drink very happily on its own, but will pair beautifully with flavoursome meat such as lamb or venison.
Thank you so much for sharing your love for the Doppio Passo Primitivo! We couldn’t agree more—this wine has such a bold character, with those rich dark cherry notes and a luxuriously smooth texture. It’s wonderful to hear it’s a favourite for you, and we love your suggestion to pair it with lamb or venison.

Best red wine we've tasted, all bottles packaged well and received in good condition
Absolutely recommend all of the wines, some I did not think I would enjoy but loved them all.
Really great having a nice glass of wine to go with my meal.
A real treat, can’t wait to order again
Lyre's Sparkling has a very pleasant taste and stands out in the "zero" space. It arrived very promptly after ordering from The Wine Shop.
We invited the lovely Rector of our parish church (the oldest church in Surrey) over for supper with her equally charming husband a while back. They were very kind enough to bring a bottle of this wonderful wine with them as a gift. We liked it so much I subsequently ordered 7 bottles from The Wine Shop to be delivered. I can recommend the wine AND The Wine Shop highly. In fact I have just placed a further order for another 8 bottles.
This one was a surprise find at a local restaurant, so we sought it out to order more. It's hard to describe a flavour, as much as it is to describe sound, but it may be easier to recount my experience of it. Here goes... It has good balance of fruit and body; it doesn't dry the mouth nor kill my palate after a single glass. It's a Primitivo from Puglia, so it has that character. Definitely recommended.
Thought I would give this wine a go as it was a favourite of Winston Churchill, well what can I say but Winston had great taste in red wine. A lovely dark red colour and a deceptive first slurp brings a super easy drink which then catches up to you with a powerful warm feeling in your stomach. Let’s just say it’s dangerously good. 😉
This is my second order of 12 bottles! Lovely wine, easy drinking! Mellow, light fruity notes and a clean refreshing finish!

Great service from the he Wine Shop, really quick delivery well packed and the wine was splendid.
Wine Shop offered the best price and I can highly recommend them.
My first ever wine from the Wine Shop! This is a beautifully smooth wine but which also has a bit of ‘bite’. Very happy with this wine and I’ll be back!
Bought this as a present for my 22 year old son who was 15 when he first had a taste on a D Day visit 7 years ago. The wine is just as I remembered it, smooth and round, a delicious drink. My son also enjoyed the taste, as an adult.
It doesn’t get better than this!
I love Botter chianti. It has a great peppery finish and the bottle is a delight. Quick and reliable delivery too.
Amazing wine and a 24 hours delivery service.
Excellent service. Thank you
Very moreish sparkling Pinot Grigio at a reasonable price. Light and refreshing with none of the acidity or slight chemical aftertaste you often get with sparkling wines at this price. Went through a dozen bottles far too quickly.
