PUGLIA
Puglia is “the heel” of the boot of peninsular Italy. It is bordered by both the Adriatic and Ionian Seas, giving it one of the longest coastlines of any region in Italy. The flagship red grape of Puglia is Primitivo, a distant cousin of California’s Zinfandel grape. The Puglia wines made with Primitivo are luscious, heavy and definitely “food wines”. Another successful and important red wine from Puglia is Salice Salentino, a powerful red wine made primarily with Negroamaro. We are very proud to work with Cantele and Masseria Li Veli, both family-run estates in the heart of Puglia, whose...

TASTING NOTES
This Aleatico is a very unique “meditation wine” with an intense amber color. On the nose it is immediately evident its aromatic structure with dried and candied fruits: apricot, dates and figs. On a second level there come liquorices and coffee notes. On the palate a balsamic note of typical Mediterranean herbs and spices is very predominant, whit sage and...

PRODUCERS OF THE PUGLIA WINE REGION
Armit Wines imports two producers from the Puglia wine region: Cantele and Masseria Li Veli. The focus of the Cantele producers is local grapes including Primitivo, Negroamaro, Fiano and Bombino. Their commitment to modern technique helps to enhance their quality: including isolating yeast strains in Negroamaro grapes. Masseria Li Veli produces wines from a variety of different grapes, often using lesser known grapes. This is particularly evident by their Askos line, produced with the intention of reviving grapes close to extinction – in this case the Apulian grape.
