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.

"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."
