This red wine reveals a deep garnet hue, inviting you to explore its layers of complexity. On the palate, it is full-bodied with robust tannins that provide structure without overwhelming the senses. The wine features a high acidity that enhances its vibrancy, making it a delightful companion for various dishes. The fruit intensity is prominent, exhibiting alluring notes of black cherry, plum, and subtle hints of spice, which together create a harmonious balance. Its dryness complements the wine's overall profile, giving it an elegant finish that lingers with a touch of earthiness, characteristic of the terroir of Salento. Enjoy this remarkable vintage as it unveils its character with each sip, promising a memorable experience.

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.
