What a delicious wine with blackberry and cherry flavors. Beautiful purple color, full bodied. Not sure what kind of grape this is but from doing a little research it's from southern Italy and the grapes are dried a certain way after harvest. It's a very elegant wine I love it!

Salento region Appassimento wine. Lucious with dark ruby color and great berry taste. Perfect for pairing with lasagna or any southern Italian foods. Smooth enough on its own for sipping. Drank in October 2022

Smooth dark fruit, a great easy drinking med+ body. Low acid and low med tannin.

Smooth dark fruity notes. I think would go well with anything or even alone. Be sure to let it breathe to soften. And you can’t beat the price for a red!

This guy is officially my summer red. Nice tannin structure, dark fruits, and slight metallic bite.
