The Bastioni della Rocca Puglia Appassimento opens with inviting aromatics of sweet cherries and red plums which are woven together with earth, tobacco, grilled herbs and hints of leather. Medium-bodied with a silky texture that gives way to flavors of cherries and plums that contine through the finish.

This Italian red wine is a specialty of the Salento peninsula, a blend of 80% Negroamaro and 20% Primitivo.
