Since 1993, Antica
Enotria has been producing their wines without the use of chemicals pesticides,
herbicides or fertilizers. The winery is located in the province of Foggia just
a few miles from the Gulf of Manfredonia in Puglia. Tasting Notes: This intriguing red spent eight months in used French barrels. The result: a lean yet muscular, softly tannic wine suggestive of dark red-berry fruit with notes of licorice and leather. One Bicchiere - Gambero Rosso, Italian Wines 201190pts - Gregory Dal Piaz, snooth.com Read the article "This has a hint of Band-Aid on the nose but there is also deep, wild blueberry and blackberry fruit topped with sweet licorice tones and a nice tarry overtone. Light and lively on entry with very clear, brisk, wild berry fruit. The tannins here are small-scaled but firm, adding a light bitter underlay to the aromatic, fresh, precise finish." |
