2006 Resta Martina Bianco 

60 % Verdeca, 40% Bianco d'Alessano Blend. Nice and easy, with a mineral finish. Noticeable low acid. Saline/sea quality and rather light, with some noticeable flavor of apricot jam or candied apricots. "It has an intense floral aroma reminiscent of Sauvignon Blanc. Martina has fresh flavors of wildflower and banana in a soft and harmonic body. Soft acidic accents make it refreshing."

 

Our Price: 12.27

 

 

2009 Mocavero Chardonnay 

"This is a fabulous example of single varietal Chardonnay from a warm climate area on the Salento peninsula. The cool breeze flows in from the Adriatic and keeps the acidity up in the fruit maintaining the freshness and balance. Aromas of peach, green fruit and citrus lead to an elegant palate cut by sappy acidity, excellent for fish dishes!" Light starters, seafood and fish, excellent as an aperitif.

 

Our Price: 14.57

 

 

2005 Mocavero Negramaro

One of the two principal grapes of Puglia.  Aroma and forward flavors offer hints of violet and black fruits. Vibrant acidity with balanced tannins and berry flavors round out this Southern Italian delight. Classic red wine process, with prolonged contact time between marc and must so that the skins can impart more color to the wine. The fermentation is completed in stainless steel containers. A noble accompaniment to roast meat, strong cheese, excellent with pasta and ragł.

 

Our Price: 15.77

 

 

2006 Mocavero Primitivo 

A close relative of the Zinfandel grape, Primitivo is the star of Puglia. The Mocavero Primitivo Salento offers a deep red color with an intense bouquet of jam and fruits. The flavors are rich with tobacco, jammy blackberry and leather. The finish is long and develops rich flavors of roasted chocolate. The Salento area includes the Lecce, Brindisi and Taranto districts. 35 year old vines. A noble accompaniment to roast meat, wild fowl and mature cheese.

 

Our Price: 17.27
