Winemaker Notes: The undisputed Jewel of Southern Italian Wines Extraordinary, Incredible, Excellent Southern Italian Wine at its Best

From the renowned wine region of Salento on the peninsula of Puglia and adjacent to the Bay of Taranto comes this amazing wine that for generations was a relatively unknown secret. Puglia, stretches over 220 miles to Italy’s heel-tip, and this wine hails from the regions center of attention and renowned southern Italian wine producing region of Salento; and is part of an assortment of wines that have been researched and developed over many, many years to accentuate the intrinsic value of the Puglia region where the Negroamaro grape is its jewel. This wine is made of 100% Negroamaro and is aged for 6 months in French Allier Barriques (size: 225ltr) and 6 months in bottle. At sight this wine is a compact deep ruby red color leaning towards an intense dark purple. On the nose the wine is big and wide with a bold floral bouquet, peppery notes and pleasant cocoa accents. The taste is fruit-forward, smooth and well balanced, while having a potent and aggressive, yet soft and fruity taste with a delicious, long, structured and fulfilling finish.

A wine that gets and better with age! It’s almost impossible to incorrectly pair this wine with anything. Great for second dishes of meats and savory fish, perfect with mushrooms and aromatic roasted beef. It reaches its best with traditional – home style cooking.

Price: $29.98
