This Negroamaro from Puglia is a revelation for fans of opulent, full-bodied reds. Inspired by the Ripasso method, this wine undergoes a unique drying process that concentrates its flavors into a decadent symphony of chocolate, cocoa, and ripe dark fruit. Think of it as a Mediterranean twist on the bold, expressive style of Orin Swift's Prisoner. With its plush texture and complex character, this Negroamaro is a must-try for those seeking a rich and rewarding wine experience.

Read the full story.

If you love Ripasso style wines, this Negroamaro from Puglia (the heel of the boot) made in a similar style. After ripe grapes are harvested, the grapes are dried, traditionally on bamboo racks or straw mats, for a few weeks up to several months to concentrate the sugars and flavors. Then, these dried grapes (which now look like and taste like raisins) are fermented and passed over the based wine.

The result is a luxurious, decadent wine full of chocolate, cocoa, sweet blueberries, figs, and dried blackberry flavors. This wine is a ringer for the Orin Swift crowd of wine lovers who love "Prisoner" style wines.
