Bottled in quite heavy bottles I was interested of the taste of the blend with 3 autochthonous varieties from Puglia. The wine has quite high alcohol, which is not standing out in the nose, but it is slightly not matched in the body profile. It feels still quite tannic, it would probably improve over 2 to 3 years, but I know better representatives from the region.
