As head winemaker for Italy’s renowned Torrevento estate, Leonardo Palumbo has crafted his share of impressive wines, and unsprisingly, his regular ‘Palumbo’ is a BIG customer favorite.
To say thanks for your support, Leonardo has made an even more luxurious Riserva version from 100% Nero di Troia, grown in Puglia’s premium Castel del Monte subregion. Nero di Troia positively thrives here—so much so, that Riserva wines from the region were granted full DOCG status in 2011. (That’s Italy’s highest wine classification.)
Leonardo says his elegant Riserva is the perfect red for your Sunday table, and we agree. Aged for 18 months in barrel, it brims with concentrated, spicy black-fruit flavors that would pair well with a classic roast, hearty pasta dishes and more.
Italian reds are in very high demand with our customers, and given the success of the original Palumbo, this fine Riserva is sure to sell fast. Order today.
