From the heel of the boot of Italy, this rich red defines southern Italian traditional winemaking. In the same family for 140 years, Apollonio uses native grapes in its varietal wines and blends.

Central Puglia is a well-off seaside area (the heel of Italy's boot) that has a long tradition of viticultural activity; albeit most of it appropriately infamous. Historically known as producing table-wine (or worse) level juice, its varieties can occasionally rise above the mediocre and make excellent value-oriented wines of character.

we use this wine in our classes to define "traditional" styling in reds. An amazingly complex wine for the money. Gotta like that stinky feet funk of southern Italian wines though!
