Badia al Colle Appassimento Puglia IGT 2023 (6x750ml)

With an impressive 97pts from the highly-respected Italian wine critic Luca Maroni, this lush blend of negroamaro & primitivo is a real showstopper. Housed in heavyweight, reverse-taper bottles and with its striking black and gold livery, this generous wine deserves a top spot on any dinner table.

With the intense, concentrated fruit flavours typical of the sun-dried fruit / appassimento method and smooth, ripe tannins, this is a seriously rewarding glass of wine that well outperforms its humble $19.99 case rate. A hint of vanillin oak adds another layer of decadence as the wine moves through the mouth, but the lasting impression here is all Italian power and grace. Delicious and superb value - don't miss out on this one.

Tasting note

80% negroamaro & 20% primitivo.

Dark and sultry in the glass, this wine is chock full of intense cherry flavours with vanilla and spice notes adding complexity. It is rich and full on the palate with ripe tannins. A seriously lush and rewarding glass of wine.
