Sep 29th, 20132018 opened December 2023. Cool notes dominate the nose. I want to call the scent that I detect as spearmint, but it doesn’t have the spiciness of a mint— just the coolness. Menthol without the ‘ol? Hint of ripe cherries underneath its chill façade. The cherries and the mint continue  their theme on the front of the palate.  Light to medium tannic structure that expresses itself towards the finish. Kinda weak on the mid-palate, but that’s a momentary lapse. It ends with a medium-long bitter finish that mostly consists of mildly bitter volcanic high notes. I drinking this along side, a beef stew with lots of carrots, brussels sprouts, and some leftover bacon in it. I’m not much on wine pairing, but this compliments, my stew perfectly.

Big bodied Negroamaro blend. An excellent wine. Cranberry and red fruits. A surprise for me.

Blend of Negroamaro and Cab, this wine achieves structure and balance almost unlike any other wine in Puglia. Very good.
