Black Reds of South Italy Doz

As you travel further south towards the heel of Italy, average temperatures rise considerably and the local grapes tend to be naturally richly concentrated and velvety smooth. Save $116 for 12 dark Italian beauties. The region of Puglia is home to several customer favourites, like long-time bestseller Pillastro Primitivo, as lavish as ever in this 2022 release. Puglia offers a second Primitivo, a smooth Merlot named after the sensuous Tarantella dance, and a Nero di Troia, made by acclaimed winemaker Andrea Bernardini. Boasting a whopping 97pts, it brims with blackberry, violet and smoky vanilla spice. Further south, sunny Sicily is home to Nostro Posto, and two-time Gold-medal Tenuta Fenice from winemaker Dino Taschetta, two great examples of the mighty Nero d’Avola grape.
