Head to Puglia in the heel of Italy’s ‘boot’ for two luscious black reds – one a Primitivo, the other a decadently complex Negroamaro Primitivo – both from top estates.

92 , WineFolio - David Walker Bell, 2022

Wine Summary

La Fonte d'Oro's built up quite a fan club since it first arrived in 2008. It's a velvet smooth red packed with black fruit flavour thanks to some brilliantly creative winemaking, courtesy of the fabulously talented Simone Cortese. He knew that by drying the finest Negroamaro and Primitivo grapes, two Puglian varieties that ooze dense, ripe fruit character, he’d concentrate their flavours even more. Of course this is a costly way to make wine (which is why famous Amarone starts at around £20), but the results are impressive. After two weeks’ drying, the grapes are pressed, extracting super rich, flavourpacked juice. Six months ageing in oak adds layers of vanilla and spice to the wine's dark, ripe fruit. Decant and serve with a rich stew.

Wine Summary

La Parrina is a tiny, very beautiful DOC, situated on a spit of land that juts out from the Tuscan coast to form the Orbetello peninsula. It's part of the renowned Maremma zone and only one estate exists there – La Parrina. It boasts 200 hectares of land, only 60 of which are planted to vines – mostly Sangiovese, with pockets of interlopers Cabernet and Merlot. Originally a wedding gift to a Florentine banker, it's been in the Spinola family since 1830. Dr Franca Spinola is at the helm today, championing biodiversity and great wines from her winemaker, Valeria Vittori. Muraccio is a classic Super Tuscan blend of Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet, barrique-matured for 10 months. Ripe black cherry, plum, herbal notes and ground pepper. Full-bodied and powerful, it'll age well. Open early and decant.

Wine Summary

Winery Feudi di San Gregorio has helped spearhead a renaissance in southern Italian winemaking, in particular the use of the region’s superb native grapes. Made from Primitivo (the same grape as California’s Zinfandel), this wine is from Gioia del Colle DOC in Puglia. Gioia del Colle can be translated as “jewels of the hill” and the DOC is a 400-metre-high plateau considered to be the homeland of the Primitivo grape. Sea breezes from the Adriatic and Ionian give the grapes much needed relief from the warm Italian sun, creating rich, velvety wines. An organic Primitivo packed with sumptuous berry fruits, a mouth-coating texture and spice kick. Easily enjoyed on its own, but pairs beautifully with spaghetti Bolognese and eggplant parmigiano.

Wine Summary

Top winemaker Andrea Bernardini has discovered just how to get the most from the superb Nero di Troia grape. The result is the deliciously dark, velvety Corsiero. No need to blend Nero di Troia with softer varieties – gently pressed and carefully vinified, it makes a seductive, deeply flavoured, fruit-rich red. Nero di Troia is named after the town of Troia in northern Puglia, said to have been founded by Greek hero Diomedes, famous for helping to defeat the city of Troy in Asia Minor (yes, the grape really is that old!). Just outside Troia, the story goes, Diomedes planted vine cuttings named Nero after the dark colour of the grape skins and the deep-hued wine. Sumptuous wild blackberry, violet, smoky vanilla complexity. Rich, warming Corsiero is perfect with rich pasta dishes, game or hearty stew.

Wine Summary

Tim Atkin MW says Sicily is “now one of the most exciting wine regions in Europe, blessed with a combination of abundant sunshine, varied terroirs, good indigenous grapes.” Plus, it has the investment to make the most of these advantages. This gorgeous Syrah comes from David di Prima, whose grandfather Gaspare planted the vines decades ago. The vineyards lie on high hills overlooking the Lago Arancio (Orange Tree Lake) reservoir. Originally a river, it was dammed in the 1950s. On rare occasions the water level drops to reveal the ruins of a Moorish temple. With deep colour, cherry, spice and chocolate character, this Syrah goes well with grilled red meats and full-flavoured local dishes such as aubergine caponata or cucuzza squash bake.

Wine Summary

We've worked closely with the Masi family in Tuscany's superb Rufina district for 30 years now, first with Renzo and now with his son, Paolo. They are like family. In fact, you may well have met Paolo and his wife Anna Rita at our wine shows. They come every year. Paolo took over the family estate in 1990 having passed his wine studies top of the class. And that talent shows in every one of his wines. Their beautiful property lies high on a hill overlooking the Argomenna valley – it's a prime spot for Sangiovese, placed on a par with Chianti Classico since the 18th century. One of his wines even won '3rd Best Wine of Italy' in 2020 and 2021. Enjoy the cherry fruit and silky texture of his great-value Chianti – ideal with chicken or pasta.
