Apulia means sea, sun and incredible wines that capture ancient traditions. In fact, it was Homer himself who, in the Illiad, spoke of an Apulian wine describing it as "generous and florid", a nectar of the Gods loved by the heros of Greek epics such as Achilles. If you would like a taste of ancient legends, then you simply must try these wonderful wines which have made it into the Apulian classics hall of fame. This region home to an "eternal spring" features unique weather conditions that favour grape growing. For this reason, Apulian is home to truly unique indigenous varieties of grape, including Troia, Primitivo, Verdeca and Negroamaro. But what is our selection for "Wine of the Gods" today? Without a doubt, our hearts are set on Tenute Chiaromonte's "Muro Sant'Angelo Contrada Barbatto" Primitivo, a red wine with hints of prunes and spices. It is juicy and complex on the palate and was dubbed "Wine of the Year" in 2017 by Gambero Rosso. Dating back to the 1800s, Tenute Chiaromonte went from a small artisanal winery to the estate that it is today, all while maintaining tradition well intact.
