This 2007 vintage showcases a deep, garnet hue that invites you to indulge in its complex aromas. On the nose, it reveals fragrant notes of ripe blackberries, dried herbs, and subtle hints of spice, which harmoniously evolve as the wine breathes. The palate is treated to an enchanting blend of medium tannins and well-balanced acidity, providing a rich and smooth texture. With its pronounced fruit intensity, this wine delights with layers of dark fruit flavors intertwined with earthy undertones. This full-bodied marvel is expertly crafted and serves as a perfect complement to hearty dishes, making it an excellent choice for any gathering.

Region:


Salento

The heel of Italy's boot, Salento is a hot, sun-baked region known for its rustic red wines. Most are made from the holy trinity of local grapes: Negroamaro, Malvasia Nera and Primitivo (usually known as Zinfandel in the New World). Some of these robust blends feature big Italian names like Sangiovese and famous French grapes like Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. While powerful red wines are the main attraction here, white wines from Salento, with their intense, fruity aromas, are also worth seeking.
