Intense red color with garnet shadows in the less thick areas.
On the nose the excellent vintage has allowed copious nuances. We still have scents of dark berry jam, among which we note dead and cherry. Notes of vanilla, nutmeg and tobacco precede those of chocolate, mixed with the spirit, typical of the Boer. Even withered flowers add to the vegetal sensations of the undergrowth, with wild berries, leaves and moss.
On the palate it is decidedly full-bodied, with a volume made up of very well designed softness, and a structure supported by minerality and acidity. The tannic texture is barely hinted at, but made up of a slight astringency. It remains in the mouth with personality, leaving a very persistent finish. Finally, aromas of plum and blueberry jam, with spices and cocoa reach the nasal receptors.
A great Apulian wine. Designed on the style of the exuberant, it manages to be so with grace.
It accompanies long-cooked meat dishes, aged cheeses and cannellini beans with shallots, garlic, tomato, turmeric and ginger.
