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.
New England wine state, glacial soils (schist, gneiss, loam). Coast tempered by Long Island Sound, favouring Bordeaux varieties. Signature Cabernet Franc: elegant and peppery with signature notes of raspberry, red cherry, red pepper, violet, fresh herbs and a spicy touch, fine tannins and fresh palate — friendly cool-climate style. Round Merlot (plum, cherry).
