Rinomata Cantina Tombacco Azzurra Rosso Puglia IGT 2021 £24.50
Rinomata Cantina Tombacco Azzurra Rosso Puglia IGT 2021 is a vibrant red from the sun-drenched Puglia region of Italy, made for anyone who loves characterful, Mediterranean charm in the glass. Blending the depth of Negroamaro with the ripe, expressive character of Zinfandel, it delivers an inviting bouquet of dark fruit, where juicy blackberry and morello cherry tones feel fresh, not heavy.
Expect a well-structured palate with a gentle warmth and a lingering finish, lifted by subtle spicy impressions that are typical of southern Italian wines. The wine’s aromatics are beautifully clear and persistent, making it a fantastic choice for relaxed evenings, flavour-rich meals, or when you want to impress without fuss. Serve slightly below room temperature and let its bold fruit and warm spice shine. Add a bottle from this range to your next order and bring a slice of Puglia to the table.

Italy
The ancient Greeks called Italy "Oenotria" meaning wine land and its inhabitants are today as passionate about their wines as ever. Hand in hand with this passion goes an intense commitment to local styles and local grape varietes, of which there are said to be more than 500. Yes 500 different varieties! As a result, Italy produces a wider, more fascinating range of individual, characterful wines than anywhere else in the world. And over the last two decades in particular, Italy's very finest wines have improved out of sight and their star is still on the rise. If anyone is going to truly challenge the famous names of France for supremacy in the battle for the hearts and minds of wine collectors the world over, it's the Italians. Bordeaux, Burgundy and Rhone look out. Here comes Tuscany, Piedmont and Puglia!
Puglia
In terms of terroir, Puglia has a formidable array of natural tools to help encourage prolific vine growth. The hot Mediterranean climate, persistent sunshine and occasional sea breezes make for a near-perfect environment for viticulture. The region’s geology shows a bias towards cretaceous limestone under layers of iron-rich quaternary deposits, most visible in the soils around the Colline Joniche Tarantine hills and near Martina Franca and Locorotondo in the Itria Valley.
Now the area has begun to shake off its reputation for flat, highly alcoholic blending wines, Puglia has an opportunity to seduce the wine world with concentrated, inky reds to rival the best from Australia and South America.
