Masseria Li Veli

Passamante Salice Salentino Negroamaro

Smells like a peat bog.
Earthy, decomposing, dark fruits, big juicy Brett of a mouthful.
Negroamaro is a highly underrated grape. Such big flavour, and a hefty weight.
Can you dig it? Yes, I can.

Puglia Primitivo

This is a ruby red gem at 14.0% ABV. Italy's Puglua IGP Zinfandel is labelled Primitivo. An bold aroma of blackberry fruit, fresh plum, and a hint of raspberry jam is met with a palate reflective of aromas. Mouthwatering, fleshy, flavourful, medium + tannins, medium bodied, medium plus fruit, this wine has tertiary notes of earthiness. This wine is a wonderfully captured expression of warm climate — 9 years ago

Feudo di Santa Croce

Primitivo di Manduria 2010

Wow, what a deal at < $20 / bottle
Wine spectator says
#69 of top 100 of 2014.
A burly, brambly red, underscored by tarry smoke and underbrush notes, offering flavors of blackberry coulis, herb-marinated black olive, grilled mushroom and ground spice. This shows muscle that recommends it to short-term cellaring, made accessible by integration and balance. Drink now through 2024. Tasted twice, with consistent notes.
#69 – 91 points

Rivera

Riserva Il Falcone Castel del Monte Rosso 2009

Any wine that can shine from a plastic cup deserves extra kudos. Mistook for a Northern nebbiolo with its structure, detail, & balance, but the fruit is pure southern, pomegranate & black currants. Eye opener (esp for 30$ list). Want to re taste in proper stemware. I think 80% nero di trioa 20% montulpiciano — 8 years ago
