Thick and inky. Steak pairs well with the wine. After a day it opened up really well. Tannins still holding on with lush mouth watering acidity that compliments the red and blue fruit (think blueberries and raspberries), with some wet underbrush on a fall day, moist crisp air and freshness. It’s yum. — 4 years ago
Blind tasting of regular oak barrel, egg shaped barrel, and amphora. The menhir (egg shaped barrel) was my preference. — 5 years ago

Leggermente frizzante, scende benissimo. Forse troppi solfiti. — 3 years ago

This wine is Menhir Pietra Salice Salentino Negroamaro. 2016. This doesn’t come up on the Delectable list. first had this Jan 2020 at a Feast (Tucson) tasting. Had this bottle June 2020. Full bodied, ripe red fruit w/ baking spices. Nice complexity. Medium-long finish. Excellent PqR. Will definitely have this again. The Pietra Susumaniello is also very good. — 5 years ago
