Description

A full bodied wine, rich and textured featuring succulent bramble fruit, a touch of liquorice, with gentle rounded tannins and a fresh, lingering finish. This is a medium to full bodied wine that is perfectly enjoyable on its own, or if you're feeling experimental in the kitchen keep it local and try it with spaghetti puttanesca, a punchy pasta dish.

Michele Biancardi

Located in the Puglian countryside, a short distance from the sea, the old doors with old locks are from generations ago are the same that still greet visitors to our winery today.
Technology is reduced to a minimum, and, thanks to the solar panels, the farm produces more energy than it consumes. Wooden barrels are used in in moderation and steel tanks cool the precious juice when the summer gets too hot. Of course all Wines are certified Bio.

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.
