Description

One of Puglia's most acclaimed reds from sun-dried Negroamaro grapes - only produced in outstanding years and in limited quantities. An outstanding wine with rich, complex aromas of black cherry fruit, cassis, tobacco, chocolate and orange peel. The palate is generous showing opulent, nuanced red berry fruit and a hint of spice. Richly flavoured yet elegant with a deliciously savoury, meaty twist on the intense and long finish.

Vallone

Established in 1934, this family-owned estate combines traditional winemaking methods with modern techniques, focusing on sustainable viticulture. Vallone is particularly renowned for its exceptional wines made from indigenous grape varieties such as Negroamaro, Primitivo, and Malvasia Nera. Their wines, including the acclaimed Graticciaia and Vigna Flaminio, are known for their depth, complexity, and expressive character.

Puglia

Puglia, located in the southeastern part of Italy, is a prominent wine region known for its rich history and vibrant wine culture. Often referred to as the "heel" of Italy's boot, it has been producing wine for thousands of years, with viticulture deeply rooted in its ancient Greek and Roman heritage.

Puglia's warm Mediterranean climate, with abundant sunshine and cooling sea breezes, creates ideal conditions for growing robust and flavorful grapes. The area is particularly renowned for its red wines, with Primitivo and Negroamaro being the standout varieties. Primitivo, closely related to California's Zinfandel, produces bold, fruit-forward wines with high alcohol content, while Negroamaro is known for its deep color and complex flavors, often with hints of dark fruit and spices.

Puglia also produces notable rosé wines, particularly from the Salento area, and a range of full-bodied white wines, making it one of Italy's most diverse and dynamic wine regions.
