Italy’s sunny south sends us this ruby red gem. Crafted 100% from the native Negroamaro grape, it boasts beautiful fragrances and flavors of red berries and cherries. A nose of blackcurrant beckons followed by blackberry and black cherry flavors with a hint of strawberry. Medium-full bodied with beautifully integrated tannins. A fruity yet earthy delight! Serve this Italian gem with dishes such as pasta with meat sauce and Parmigiano and Ricotta cheeses. It’s also delicious with breads, game and grilled meats. Keep 2-3 years. Soft fruity reds will lose their exuberance if kept too long.

Great wine!!! I cant wait to enjoy a glass or 2 of this with a fine cigar.
Smooth and lightly fruity red wine. I’m not a big red wine drinker, but really enjoyed this wine. It’s delicious!
Very smooth delicious red wine!
This wine is great
This wine represents some of the best qualities found in many superlative wines throughout Southern Italy…at one quarter the price. After decanting for 20-30 minutes, it opens up into a smooth, even luscious mouth feel, followed by a subtle but firm grip at the end. Italian hard and soft cheeses, good company and this wine will make the experience. Subtle notes of dark fruits up front, some earth, and even a hint of mocha can be found at the end. Just my interpretation of course, but a very good wine at this price point.
This is a good wine from south Italy, full-bodied, but not too much, just right.
Great wine! Works well with pasta, pizza and beef. This is a nice full bodied wine that has great flavor.
Love this Italian Table wine…first bottle of non-sweet red wine that I have ever purchased and now I order it monthly! Great for transitioning into the red wines, and it pairs well with most red meat dishes.
A nice smooth Italian red. We tasted it with cocktail meatballs in a marinara sauce at the wine tasting party I attended and it was perfect!
Excellent taste with a smooth balance
can really taste the oaky flavor. Not as smooth, as it has a slight “kick”. Still one of my favorites at the tasting.
LOVED!
Red wine not a favorite of mine but I found this to be smooth and refreshing!
Great Wine with perfect balance between fruit and earthiness!
Great wine, one of my favorites
