red wine style:

winemaker's notes:

Intense ruby red. Aromas of red fruit, black cherry and black currant. Soft, balanced acidity on the palate and just tannins.

alcohol by volume: 13.5%

critical acclaim:

"The 2008 Neprica is a great example of the inexpensive, utterly delicious reds southern Italy is capable of. This plump, juicy Neprica offers lovely dark fruit, licorice and herbs on a powerful frame. It is an incredible value. Neprica is a blend of Negroamaro, Primitivo and Cabernet Sauvignon. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2012. "

The Wine Advocate

"A fresh Mediterranean red, this blends negroamaro with primitivo and cabernet sauvignon to build its warm, lasting flavors. The spicy, dark fruit sweetness balances savory, gentle tannins, finishing clean and bright. Ready for the beach or a sausage pizza."

rating (1/25/2012):

Incredible value, soft supple fruit driven but with nice acidity (very balanced for an inexpensive Italian)and just a touch of a Barolo like tar/licorice finish. They got the blend right on this and at less than $7 a bottle you just can't go wrong--excellent at twice the price.

Style:Smooth & Supple
