Farmers of Wine, by Enoitalia, Vino Rosso, Italian Red Blend, NV
Introduction
Puglia is situated in the heel of Italy and at one time an area that was often producing juice for distillation and blending, producing more wine than the whole of Australia. It is now upcoming, not as far yet though, but comparable to the French Languedoc region, creating interesting wines.
This wine is made from ‘authentic Italian grapes’ Negroamaro and Zinfandel (also known as Primitivo), using the alberello, meaning ‘small tree’, creating low yields and highest quality, together with good weather conditions. This regional and traditional way of producing wines is upheld by Enoitalia, originally based in Bardolino, nr. Verona, north Italy and its selected farmers.
