Winemaker’s notes: Rich, rounded red wine from Puglia in southern Italy. Soft, highly flavoured and scented with forest fruits, cracked black pepper and a dollop of blackberry jam. It matches very well with red meat, game and heavy sauces, but is also nice with spicy food and hard cheese.

Winemaker’s note: Aromas of ripe cherries and sweet spices. The palate is rich, intense cherries and berry fruit; good length and soft tannins. Exceptionally versatile. Good with pasta dishes dressed with rich sauces (meat or mushrooms); grilled or roast red meat, and game. Ideal with well-aged cheese.

Winemaker’s note: A clear-cut, intense nose with overtones of vanilla, spices, withered roses and underbrush. On the palate it is dry but soft, full bodied, velvety and well balanced. Ideal with red meat dishes and medium or mature cheeses, it can also be suitable for pleasant after-dinner company.
