Otre

2009 Puglia Aglianico

Teanum Otre is a captivating red wine from the sun-drenched region of Puglia, crafted from the esteemed Aglianico grape variety. This 2009 vintage showcases a rich garnet color that draws you in, promising depth and character. On the palate, it presents a full-bodied experience, accompanied by medium acidity that enlivens the senses. The wine's fruit intensity is prominent, revealing luscious notes of dark cherries and ripe blackberries intertwined with subtle hints of spice and earthy undertones. Tannins are notably firm, providing a robust structure that evolves beautifully with each sip. As a dry wine, it pairs exceptionally well with hearty dishes, making it a delightful choice for those who appreciate the bold flavors and complexity of Aglianico from this remarkable Italian region.

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.
