October 7, 2011 - Those of you who think Italian wines are too thin and acidic - take heed: this is a deep, delicious Italian red. Consisting of Four-fifths Negroamaro (a variety that flourishes in Puglia, the "heel" of Italy), this wine is chunky and intensely flavorful, bursting with notes of black fruit compote, dark chocolate, and black olive, with just a touch of baking spices and mincemeat (believe it or not, the latter is a very good trait). If you have a "New World" palate, you should enjoy this juicy, fruity Italian job. If you have an "Old World" palate, you might consider it overbearing. I sure like it, and highly recommend it. It's a great value at around 16 bucks. You guys in Alexandria can find it at Unwined in Bradlee Center.
