The 2024 Primo Estate Il Briccone Shiraz Sangiovese is a vibrant and characterful red from McLaren Vale, crafted by Primo Estate as a “rogue” blend of rich Shiraz and savoury Sangiovese. This modern Australian-Italian style combines bold fruit with freshness, delivering a balanced and highly drinkable wine. The nose is expressive and fruit-driven, showing blackberry, plum and cherry, layered with red spice, pepper and subtle herbal notes.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a juicy, supple texture and lively acidity. Dark fruit and spice are complemented by a savoury edge, with Sangiovese adding a fresh burst of cherry and structure. The finish is smooth, vibrant and slightly savoury, making it both approachable and versatile.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great everyday premium red with personality—perfect for customers who enjoy bold fruit with a fresh, Italian twist. It’s easy-drinking but still has depth and character. Drink now or over the next 3–5 years. Ideal with pasta, pizza, grilled meats or tomato-based dishes.
