Tenuta Albrizzi Oak-Aged 2012

This red will bowl you over with its gorgeous depth of flavour , the result of top winemaking skills, a rare combination of grapes and the sunny vineyards of southern Italy. Proof, if needed, that Puglia offers ,undreamed of character and potential, (Hugh Johnson), and ,reds that give you a lot of wine for your money, (Decanter). The region is best known for dark spicy reds made from local varieties, but here award winning winemaker (with 50 vintages under his belt) Angelo Maci has given Puglia'sPrimitivo a boost of intense, weighty cassis with the addition of Cabernet Sauvignon. It has proven to be a masterstroke. Full flavoured, bold and ripe, it'sgreat with hearty casseroles, roasted or barbecued meats or as a warming glass on its own.
