From this backwater, largely forgotten viticultural region, not far from the Adriatic port city of Brindisi, comes this rustic, overripe, distinctive, full-bodied, big, dense, chewy wine. It bears a vague resemblance to a Grenache-based offering from the southern Rhone. Peppery, jammy cherry/plum/kirsch liqueur aromas are accompanied by a touch of the cheese rind character pervasive in many wines from this area. This full-bodied, individualistic 1995 yields sweet fruit, and is an excellent value. Drink it over the next year.Importer: Steve Berardi, Elizabeth Imports, Denver, CO; tel. (303) 394-0691
