We are delighted to have Michele’s wines back in stock. It took us many years to find the right partner in Puglia, a region dominated by enormous, industrial scale wineries and over priced “boutique” cellars – neither of which interest us. We sought out Michele because the wines were written up as offering exceptional value in the trustworthy Italian Slow Wine guide. His 9 hectares of organically cultivated vines lie near Cerignola, in the north-western sector of Puglia. What distinguishes these wines is a stimulating purity of fruit and moderate alcohol levels in a regions where hot, sweet, spirity reds are all too common. The Puro Primitivo is a big favourite with many customers for its ripe, generous fruity style that goes superbly with everything from curries to casseroles.
