2017 Botromagno - Murgia Rosso IGT Pierre delle Vigna

The 2017 Botromagno Pierre delle Vigna delivers the structured fruit and earthy depth expected from a Murgia Rosso IGT. Sourced from the heart of Italy’s Apulia region, this seven-hundred-fifty-milliliter bottling offers a clear expression of local viticulture, built for both cellaring and immediate enjoyment.

The wine opens with aromas of dark berry, dried plum, and subtle leather, transitioning into a palate marked by moderate tannins and balanced acidity. Secondary notes of sweet spice, cocoa, and faint tobacco unfold as the glass breathes, creating a smooth, lingering finish that highlights the vintage’s warm ripening period.

• Hearty meat dishes such as braised rabbit, lamb shoulder, or slow-cooked sausage ragu

Decant for approximately thirty minutes before serving to open the aromatic layers. Best consumed between fifty-five and sixty-five degrees Fahrenheit to preserve its natural balance.
