A captivating and flavoursome Italian red wine from Puglia.
This full-bodied southern Italian red drinks like a long, slow evening - rich aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant and plum lead into deeper notes of liquorice, dried herbs and warming spice (clove, cinnamon). On the palate it's velvety and layered: juicy black fruit, black olive, and a hint of vanilla and dark chocolate from the 12 months in Allier oak barriques. The 2022 vintage is dry, structured and smooth, with a long, elegant finish and a proper balance between tannin and freshness. Big, bold, and beautifully made.

"From the heel of Italy, this is just a banger of a wine for us, everyone who tries it loves it. Concentrated dark fruit, richness from oak and velvety smooth. Try it with a spicy pasta dish."
Cantine Sampietrana was founded in 1952 by 68 vine-growers in Puglia and has evolved from a bulk-wine co-operative into a modern, quality-focused winery. Their old vines - many over 50 years old - are trained in the traditional Apulian “small tree” (alberello) system, and the team combines careful soil science with modern technology to produce DOP-certified wines that stay rooted in local tradition.
This Pulian red wine beautifully balances tradition and modernity. With its elegant structure, persistent finish, and versatile food pairings, it’s a perfect choice for spiced dishes, roasts, and aged cheeses, offering a true taste of southern Italy.
