Bottle (75 cl - Standard)
Cantine Risveglio was founded in 1958 and throughout its history of more than six decades has survived very critical times. Nowadays, Cantine Risveglio is a model of success for most wineries in the vicinity of Brindisi but you’ll find their secret only by uncorking each and every wine they produce. Convinced that the only asset that matters is quality the winemakers from Cantine Risveglio focused their efforts in making gastronomic wines for the cuisine of southern Italy.
Puglia Wines
Puglia is a wine region in the far south-eastern corner of the 'boot' of Italy. The Salento Peninsula occupies the southern half of the region and is of great significance to Puglia's identity because the 'true' Puglia wines are to be found here, in the south. While Sangiovese and Montepulciano dominate the northern part of the region, authentic red Puglian wines from the south are made with Negroamaro and Primitivo grapes. Also, Susumaniello is making a comeback so look for this varietal!
Negroamaro Wines
Negroamaro is a black-skinned grape variety from Puglia in Southern Italy. It is a very popular grape variety and is usually found in blends alongside Primitivo, Malvasia Nera, Sangiovese or Montepulciano. Negroamaro wines can be described as deep ruby red with medium-full tannins and blackberry flavors with hints of clove, cinnamon and allspice. The finest Negroamaro wines are believed to be found under Salice Salentino DOC title.
