description: At 85% Negroamaro and 15% Malvasia Nera, this jammy, berry-packed Southern Italian is the type of red wine most folks can sink their teeth into. Prepare for graham-cracker aromas, bold fruit and deep espresso shadings. It attacks with juicy strawberry and raspberry, and then turns spry as the acids take over. Fades with chocolate and a hint of butter. The consulting winemaker is Riccardo Cotarella, a master of extraction and balance regardless of region and price.
