Puglia At a Glance
Region NamePuglia
Most Puglia wine is red, full-bodied, and will pair well with a wide variety of foods. Producers in Puglia have focused on making great red wines, and local grapes like Negroamaro, Primitivo, and Bombino Nero make for delicious drinking. Some of the best values in Italian wine come from this sunny, dry region.
Score: 92Vintage 2024James SucklingA solid, generous and creamy blend of primitivo and negroamaro displaying aromas of vanilla, caramel and mixed berries. Full-bodied with ripe tannins and a creamy texture. Medium-long finish with plenty of toasted character. Drink or hold.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 92Vintage 2022VinousDark and brooding, the 2022 Amativo grumbles up from the glass with an array of exotic spices, dried violets, licorice and freshly split pine. It’s silken in feel, showing a burst of ultra-ripe wild berry fruits that's offset by brisk acidity and a tactile crunch of minerality. Hints of sour citrus emerge toward the close. Long, staining and well balanced, the 2022 tapers off with nuances of mint that lift echoes of tart blackberry. This will appeal to a wide audience. The Amativo is a blend of 60% Primitivo and 40% Negroamaro.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
