I’m always wary of products that wear a an association with royalty (outside of a royal warrant) on their sleeve. Witness a certain dodgy perfume company that uses the Prince of Wales’s Three Feathers device (without the “Ich Dien” motto). The typo-riddled text on the _front_ label of this wine states that the vines grow in the “Barco Reale” mentioned by Cosimo de [sic] Medici in his decree of of 1716. What a surprise, then to look up the history, and it checks out! So what does it taste like? A sort of baby-supertuscan, just enough Cabernet in the blend to add a nice international feel and structure. A screaming bargain, the low price perhaps justifying a Medici namedrop. — 8 years ago

Dried tangerine and a very generous finish, coupled with just a kiss of tannin. Alive. All BD. — 11 years ago

Smells of fresh red berries, florals and minerals underneath, then on the palate, linens and sour fruits come in—apparently, grapefruit is a standard tasting note on Negroamaro—who knew? My appreciation of the grape only grows. — 3 years ago

Delish! Refreshing. There is a small fruitiness to dryness ratio but heavier on the fruity. Very good entertaining wine. I would drink this again. — 9 years ago

Perfect with filet of beef. Carmignano is one of the oldest appellations in the world. Cosimo III de Medici in 1716 issued a bando to ensure its continued quality. Mostly Sangiovese, it has some Cabernet owing to a Medici marrying into the French royal family. — 10 years ago

BN, short Italian cork, surprisingly dense cork likely responsible keeping the wine fresh all these years.
Youthful color. Savory dried fruits, the Flavors of xmas spices. Very pleasing. A nice revelation to this palate. — 12 years ago

The 2018 Primitivo Settimo Ceppo displays black cherries, dusty roses and cloves on the nose. The palate is soft and round. Juicy acidity enlivens its red and blue fruits as sour citrus adds contrast. It finishes potent, long and fresh. The Settimo Ceppo is impressive. $20.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, September 2023) — 3 years ago

We have arrived in Puglia...

I haven't had much negroamaro experience. This is a blend with cab. Interesting that a 2011 can be this jammy. Worked ok.
