Morettino Rosso 2022

Rooted in the sun-drenched slopes of Central Murgia, this bold blend of Notardomenico and Primitivo reflects the rugged beauty of southern Italy. The red soils and crushed limestone offer relief from the summer heat, allowing the grapes to develop with intensity and grace.

Hand-harvested and fermented with native yeasts, this wine opens with vivid aromas of cherry, blackberry, black plum, and violet. On the palate, it’s rounded, fruit-forward, and well-balanced, with fresh acidity, silky tannins, and a dry finish that lingers.
