One of the best Merlots I have had. 19 years young beauty from Italy. Received as a gift many years ago. Way above my wine budget price pt. — 4 years ago

Negroamaro with a touch of malvasia nera
Salice Salentino was one of my first love
It is so spicy and smooth at the same time
So easy drinking, it is one of the few wines that comes out in the market not only ready to be drunk, but also (mostly) at its peak i would dare to say. Perhaps not super elegant for the fancy drinkers🤔. Recommending to buy a second bottle always unless you find magnums — 5 years ago

Oh wow. Smooth, decadent and a nice bold ride towards the end with a ski-jump like finish that ends with an exclamation point. Rich, ripe red fruit blended with a mature and robust mouth feel. Now I wish I would grabbed more then one bottle of the shelf! — 6 years ago

Puglia. Approx EUR 15. This is my favourite wine, I went back to a restaurant three times just to drink this wine. It tastes like raisins without any teabag-ness, it’s the best of all the dried fruits. — 8 years ago

Tried with a Coravin. An interesting wine - perhaps in part because I seldom drink Cannonau - that is bursting the cherries and floral elements. Tasty. — 8 years ago

Single cru vineyard, 60y old vines grown on volcanic tuff.
Beautifully floral & expressive on the nose with bright cherry, cedar wood, exotic spices, a touch of dark plum, a pronounced note of crushed, volcanic rock. Showing first hints of evolution but so bright & alive. Amazing, I could be smelling this forever.
On the palate this is a stunning contradiction. Brutish & seemingly rough yet so elegant & charming at the same time.
The unforgiving tannic grip so juicy, slowly mellowing, showing the polished quality below the brute force. The acidity cutting across with citrus freshness, a mineral core underneath the dark fruit, which is filling the edges in th back.
This is a stunner, slowly peaking at 8y of age.
A truly beautiful, profound wine. No wonder they call Taurasi the Barolo of the south. — 5 years ago

I found this very pleasurable and while it’s less concentrated and has less body and tannin than other #aglianico it is a great deal for the price. — 7 years ago

An incredible story as well a great wine. Back in the early 2000s, The Vineyard team at Feudi di San Gregorio discovered three bush vines in their Anglianico vineyards that were not Anglianico grapes. After DNA research, it was determined the vines were the ancient Sirica grape varietal. FSG propagated these vines and eventually ended up with one and a half hectares of this grape. First release of a Sirica Single varietal was back in 2009. This vintage is a terrific red wine. Aromas of dark berries, leather, herbs and violets. Flavors of black cherry, blueberry, black pepper and cloves. Velvety tannins and fresh tasting. Beautifully balanced. This one is special and will get better with age. I need to find more! — 8 years ago

Wow. Who knew we would find one of the best bottles on our trip so far at a "hypermarket" selling for €30. Primitivo, I understand to be similar to zin, is one of the two great reds produced in Puglia. Very elegant, easy on the palate and yet held up with red orechiette. — 10 years ago

This is all delicate, barely ripe fruit (apple, pear, nectarine, tangerine) with medium+ body and acid, and a finish that just won’t stop. Very pretty - I would have called it Chenin Blanc if I had tasted it blind. — 5 years ago

Wonderful wine. From what I remember, there was an underlying savory/mineral note to it which was next level. — 5 years ago

So before the following I am gonna tell you how well this pairs with southwest salad and potatoes that have had some Funtime in hot oil. It isn’t quite a unicorn but at least a mermaid wine. It can sing and swim. Maybe it has legs AND fins—take that Ariel deniers. Anyway. Should I be proper? On the nose a lot of salt and baked stone fruit and apple juice. On the palate a body not quite voluptuous but not quite not. Lemons (baked stewed raw and candied) and hint of salad green barely ripe peach medium plus acid. Alcohol I am guessing is...12.5. Maybe 13 but...checked label it says it is 13. Snazzy. This wine is good with the slightly spicy southwest flavors but also chill with salad so that’s cool. I also served this at thanksgiving earlier this year because it can be friends with most dishes. Falanghina does a great service to food. — 7 years ago

Первый нос булочка с корицей в оцинкованном ведре. Потом мох и гнилая древесина, лосятина. Во вкусе простая, но стройная, сухая и минеральная кислотность, немного белого перца и пороха, бузина и клюква. — 8 years ago
