Ruby in color, packed with ripe red and dark fruit aromas, plenty of spice and a streak of underlying minerality.
Notes on the Producer
The winery is situated in the heart of the historical center of Minervino di Lecce in Puglia, Italy’s “heel of the boot”. It is located about 10km from the historical town of Otranto and the breathtakingly beautiful coast of the Adriatic, and is surrounded by olive groves, ancient olive oil presses, awe-inspiring medieval fortresses, and parks of megalithic Menhir and Dolmen structures. Started by the dynamic Gaetano Marangelli in the southernmost part of Puglia, Menhir is committed to research and to gaining recognition for the wines of Puglia using indigenous grapes. Organic from the outset, Menhir has recently begun the formal organic certification process.
