The Wine The Wine
Italy
Region:Puglia
This beast is made from 65-year-old vines that yield few, small and highly-concentrated Primitivo grapes. The fruit character reflects the climate of its origin - hot! - baked plum, blackberry and raisin. Six months in fine French oak has added coffee and spice to its profile but big, soft tannins and a freshness to the palate will leave you surprised at its approachability.
The Winemaker The Winemaker
Alessandro Calabrese
Founded in 1999, Schola Sarmenti produces great wines with love and devotion from native vines such as Fiano, Negroamaro and Primitivo, a great expression of the precious terroir of Salento. The winery is proud of its excellent and ancient vineyards with vines up to 80 years old. Alessandro Calabrese preserves the ancient training system, Alberello Pugliese. This is an important choice, a technique so difficult and so precise that only the most expert practitioners are able to craft high quality and high prestige wines using it. The measure of success is in the awards and prizes won from all over the world for their wines.
"The wine has a velvety feel and all-enveloping flavours, with gentle tannins, giving a lovely long finish on the tongue. Intense notes of ripe fruit lead on to pleasant hints of tobacco, with a soft finish of chocolate and coffee." - Alessandro Calabrese, Winemaker.
