Best Red Wine in Ireland 2021 - National Off Licence Awards  This is a wine for anyone who loves dark, rich flavours and a big full body. The grapes here are Negroamaro and Malvasia Nera, both natives to these southernly region of Italy.

This Negroamaro is a full bodied glass of brambly black fruit with intense flavours of blackberries and blackcurrants. The velvety texture, lovely balance and savoury spice notes are very hard to resist. This is an excellent example of why Southern Italian reds are so popular.  It offers serious value for money and over-delivers at the price point! Excellent with or without food, and the perfect wine to enjoy on a Friday night. The winemakers have been making wine in Puglia for over twenty years, and their philosophy is to let the fruit shine with minimal technical intervention. This is something which you can taste in every glass.

The Primitivo grape is one of a small number of red grapes from Southern Italy that delivers serious value for money. A rich and robust red with juicy dark fruit fruit, a soft silky texture and a spicy finish. We love this flavour bomb, a red that is vibrant, intense and at a great price. The grapes are handpicked, and the wine is made in stainless steel tanks, followed by a period in concrete vats. The result is a juicy red and a luscious mouthfeel, perfect for those who don't like oak flavours or the drying mouthfeel you get from a wine that has been oak aged.

95 Points | Decanter World Wine Awards | Gold Medal This organic Nero di Troia from Puglia is full of southern Italian charm. Bursting with blackberries, baked plums and a touch of spice, it has smooth tannins and just the right freshness to keep it lively. A little time in oak adds warmth and depth, with hints of cinnamon and pepper on the finish. It’s a wine that feels both bold and easy to enjoy, perfect with lamb, pasta or a plate of cheese.

The estate works only with native grapes, letting the local climate and soils speak through every bottle. Nero di Troia is one of Puglia’s oldest varieties, valued for its rich fruit and gentle spice. This award-winning wine shows exactly why the grape is making a comeback, offering great value without compromising on flavour.
