This wine from Puglia in Southern Italy is made up from From a blend of rigorously selected Negroamaro grapes, with a touch of Malvasia Nera to add complexity and elegance. The nose is ripe and openly fruity with hints of liquorice and raisins. The palate has a touch of spice to balance the black fruit and ripe tannins. A wonderful balance of sweet ripeness and bitterness, typical of Negroamaro, held together by fresh acidity and given added complexity by a touch of spicy oak.
