The fruit intensity is prominent, leading with luscious notes of dark cherries and plums combined with hints of spice, adding complexity and depth to the wine's character. The tannins are notable yet smooth, providing a solid structure that beautifully complements its bold flavors. With an off-dry finish, this exceptional wine invites you to savor each sip, making it an ideal pairing for hearty dishes or enjoyed on its own for a delightful evening.

Region:


Puglia
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.
