Exactly what I wanted
Grabbed it on a recommendation from the shop and I am glad I did. The finish is much longer than I expected.

From the importer
Why we buy this one.
Old alberello bush vines on the Cirò plain, most of them older than the people farming them. Spontaneous fermentation in concrete, then rested on the fine lees until spring. It is the kind of bottle that disappears at the table without anyone deciding to open a second.

Not a shy wine — give it twenty minutes in a decanter and it opens right up.

Perfect with Sunday dinner
Paired it with a slow-cooked ragù and it was close to perfect. Will be reordering by the case.
