Ripe black fruit aromas intertwine with subtle notes of spice, creating a prominent fruit intensity that enhances the overall complexity. Tannins are well-structured, lending a firm backbone that supports the wine beautifully. With a dry profile, Alberto Longo Capoposto pairs wonderfully with hearty Italian dishes, making it a delightful choice for those seeking an authentic taste of the Italian countryside.

Puglia

The heel of Italy's "boot," sunny Puglia (the "g" is silent), is famed for its olive oils, almonds and of course, its rich, full-bodied wines. Although dry and intensely hot in the summer, Puglia has coastlines on three sides, providing cool Mediterranean breezes to alleviate the daytime heat. Primitivo (known in the US as Zinfandel) does well here, with other popular red varieties including Sangiovese and Negroamaro. But it is not all about reds in Puglia: the local Fiano grape produces gloriously nutty, tropical-flavored white, while Falanghina makes intensely fruity wines with citrus blossom notes.
