Rupicolo smells of dried cherries and hints of sage and camphor. It is silky and round in texture, with ripe red and black fruits giving way to a salty and savoury impression towards the end. A touch of fine tannins lingers on the medium-long final, along with tart wild berries and spices. SUPERIORE.DE

"Racy blueberries, white pepper, violet and brambly raspberries to the nose. Fresh and crunchy with bright acidity cutting through the medium-bodied palate with firm tannins. Vibrant and juicy finish." James Suckling

Excellent, single-varietal red wine from the ancient southern Italian vine Nero di Troia. Violante convinces with its fine-smelling, red-berried and delicately smoky bouquet. Fresh on the palate, well structured and beautifully balanced between fruit and acidity, it is a wonderful food companion and very inexpensive everyday wine. SUPERIORE.DE

Fresh, floral-scented rosato from Castel del Monte, beautifully accessible and wonderfully fruity in flavour. A correctly vinified everyday wine that we really enjoy. SUPERIORE.DE

Sparkling dark ruby red, this rich Primitivo shows a balsamic scent of dark fruits, graphite and cherries. Plenty of fruit on the palate, balanced and of nice length. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2019 Primitivo di Manduria Triusco bursts from the glass with smoky crushed blackberries, wet stone, woodland herbs and earth tones. Its textures are silky-smooth, ushering in a rich display of tart cherries and brown spice, all motivated by brisk acidity. Plums and inner violet florals linger incredibly long as the Triusco tapers off long and lightly structured. This more-savory-than-sweet and perfumed Primitivo is very easy to like." Vinous

Puer Apuliae (engl.: Son of Apulia) is what the De Coratos call their elegant and qualitatively outstanding drop made from 100% Nero di Troia. The flagship in the cellar delights with its balsamic fragrance, in which there is room for spices, plums, pickled nuts and black sour cherries. The taste is very concentrated and yet juicy, of great substance and density, also equipped with a long finish with a nice hint of cranberries and tobacco. SUPERIORE.DE

"A spice-forward, macerated-berry blend on the nose of this wine is countered with graphite and a final hint of capsicum. The palate is more strawberries, raspberries and cherries, with black and fresh peppercorns. Tannins cling and acid sings." Wine Enthusiast
