Grape varieties: 90% Negroamaro, 10% Malvasia Nera di Lecce. Intensely red with hints of garnet. The nose reveals fruity sensations of blackberry and black cherry, with notes of basil and sweet spices, resulting from 12 months of barrel ageing. Smooth and balanced mouthfeel with firm, yet unobtrusive tannins, and a long, complex finish. Very good with roasted meats and ripe cheeses/ 90 points Robert Parker
