Powerful, sun-drenched reds with a dark robe and generous alcohol, showing aromas of stewed blackberry, stewed plum, dried fig, chocolate, gentle spice and balsamic notes. Supple tannins, indulgent finish. Star of Puglia with Primitivo di Manduria DOC, Gioia del Colle DOC and Salice Salentino. Identical to American Zinfandel and Croatian Crljenak Kaštelanski by DNA analysis.
Eastern region shared between Turkey, Greece and Bulgaria, a fascinating native palette. On the Turkish side, Öküzgözü ("ox eye") is the signature red: deep ruby with signature notes of ripe cherry, raspberry, plum, spice and a floral touch, supple tannins and lively acidity. More tannic, structured Boğazkere, local Papazkarası. Fresh Narince whites (citrus, flowers, almond), lively Emir.
