  Era da circa 15 che non lo bevevo. Oggi mi verrebbe da descriverlo come "vinone pugliese vecchio stile", con tutti i pro ed i contro del caso (più i contro). Anche perché specificherei che con "vecchio stile pugliese" intendo i vini degli anni '90, insomma non proprio un vecchi stile inteso come stile "genuino/ruspante" tradizionale (stile più che mai contemporaneo e di tendenza oggigiorno).
  Insomma un discreto vino tosto e tostato, tannico e potente, muscolare, dove il frutto è un po' sacrificato al rovere ed al tabacco.
  Ricorda più un discreto blend bordolese che il vino caratteristico ed interessante che avevo in memoria.
  Il prezzo non è molto economico (18 euro).

  A blend of 80% Negroamaro and 20% Montepulciano, aged in barrique, RS 8 gr/l, 14% ABV. Rich black fruit and spice, velvety texture, lots of vanilla, sweet and sour character, good intensity and length but a very toasted, even resinous finish. Sicily is the source of some of the most exciting red wines in Europe these days, especially from Mount Etna, but this is a deplorable attempt to produce something which is designed to mimic mass produced wines from Chili's Central Valley. Some people may like it more than I do, but I find this hard to drink. Why on earth would you want to make a still red wine with 8 gr/l of residual sugar. They should think again.

  Silky and complex negroamaro blend with 20% montepulciano.Tons of ripe red fruit and Bitter aftertaste with some sweety notes. Perfect complement to food from Puglia but pleasant also alone at Racale

  Rich and very pleasant blend of Negroamaro and Montepulciano, round, juicy and elegant. Bitterness of Negroamaro smoothed by educated oak ageing. Easy but very interesting. At Racale in Puglia to start with local wines
