Description

The grapes were harvested at very full ripeness levels in order to produce a rich wine. The wine went into French and Hungarian oak barrels, the aging period before bottling lasted twelve months. An additional eight month period of bottle aging preceded release.

Intense and fruity with notes of cherries, berry fruit (blackberries and mulberries), and spices (pepper and liquorice). Warm, rich with great structure and persistence. The aging in barrique endows the wine with length and elegance.

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.
