The Wine
In Italy's deep south, Puglia offers “undreamed-of character and potential” (Hugh Johnson) and “reds that give you a lot of wine for your money” (Decanter). Take Pillastro Nero. It's the work of champion of the region Angelo Maci, who started the Cantine Due Palme cellar in 1989 to save the growers and the region's traditions. Since then they've been Winery of the Year three times, while Angelo Maci has multiple winemaker titles and a Lifetime Achievement award. This premium edition uses Cabernet and Primitivo grapes from 80-year-old vines, all trained the special Alberello Pugliese way for great depth of flavour. Ageing in French oak barrels adds spice to this rich, weighty red. Decant and serve with roast meats or a rich pasta dish.
