Salento IGT – Negroamaro Rosato, 2024 - £13.50/bottle
Red berry fruit dominates, with cranberry, pomegranate, and a whisper of blood orange zest. The acidity is lively, balancing the soft fruit and giving the wine a precise structure. The mid-palate has a subtle saline note and a trace of bitterness, a hallmark of Negroamaro, that adds complexity.

Salento IGT – Teresamanara Chardonnay 2023 - £17.50/bottle
The fruit is ripe but balanced by fresh acidity. Flavors of pear, citrus zest, and melon blend with lightly buttered brioche, hazelnut, and a touch of spice. There's a silky texture and a gentle creaminess mid-palate, but it's never heavy, lifted by freshness and finesse. Burgundian mouthfeel with a Mediterranean soul.

Salento IGT – Primitivo 2023 - £13.50/bottle
Smooth, full-bodied, and warming. The fruit is plush and dark—marasca cherry, mulberry, and damson—balanced by velvety tannins and moderate acidity. There's a soft, rounded texture, with well-integrated oak lending hints of mocha and sweet spice. The wine feels rich but not overpowering.
100% Primitivo

Salento IGT - Amativo 2023 - £23.90/bottle
Voluptuous and powerful, yet balanced. The Primitivo brings lush dark fruit and velvety warmth, while the Negroamaro adds structure, earthiness, and a slight bitter-chocolate edge. Tannins are ripe and well-integrated, with a fine-grained texture. Acidity is moderate, giving just enough lift to keep the richness in check.
60% Primitivo, 40% Negroamaro
