Is there a Russian word?

If you are seeking a less pretentious, a spoken word, 'neotesanyi' (rough, unpolished; ( перен.)  разг. (о человеке) uncouth) may be a choice, but this word doesn't seem to fit each context. The sentence context may affect the meaning and as one of the plausible words to match for your 'description' could be 'almaz negranennyi', but it is very informal  and heavily relies on the context.

There is an adjective in Italian ("ruspante") that applies both to an animal which is allowed to wander about freely (i.e., free-range chicken) and to a person who displays a lack of sophistication bordering on the ingenious and the rough.
Is there a Russian word that could convey the two meanings?
Thank you
Sincerely
Giampaolo Gandolfo
