Onda Del Tempo

2012 Puglia Primitivo, Aglianico, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon

Amastuola Onda Del Tempo is a captivating red wine that beautifully showcases the diverse varietals of Primitivo, Aglianico, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon, each contributing to its complex profile. Hailing from the sun-soaked region of Puglia, this vintage exudes rich, dark fruit aromas, offering a delightful fusion of blackberries and plums, accented by hints of spice and earthiness. The wine presents a smooth and inviting mouthfeel, with a medium body that invites you to savor every sip. Its acidity is lively, perfectly balancing the richness of the fruit while maintaining a refreshing quality. The tannins are well-integrated, lending structure without overwhelming the palate. With an off-dry finish, this wine leaves a lasting impression, making it a wonderful choice for pairing with hearty meals or enjoying on its own.

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.
