4 Stars - Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Wine Reviews (2021 vintage)
"Full, deep ruby-red, lighter on edge. The nose is gentle, with red berry, plum, graphite and spice aromas. Full-bodied, aromas of redberry and plum entwined with rich minerals, clove and grains. The succulent red fruit contrasts a rich, fine-grainy palate and carries a dry, savoury finish. Match with ragu pasta and roasted beef over the next 3-4 years. 13% alc. Apr 2023"

Cantine Paolo Leo bring true Italian expertise in their range of wines from the Salento appellation of Puglia. Their Negroamaro uses grapes that are hand harvested in the early hours of the morning to preserve freshness and aroma. Fermentation with daily pump-overs precedes a further malolactic fermentation for 5 months in stainless steel tanks. Intense ruby ​​red with violet reflections, the nose brings ripe red fruit, currant jam and raspberries. The palate shows well-ripened plums alongside black pepper and warm cinnamon. Well-balanced tannins, structural freshness, and a tantalising finish with a spicy persistence. Try with braised meats. spiced cured meats, aubergine or textured cheeses.
