2019 Puglia IGT, Nero di Troia, Velarino
£18.00
The Velarino, or curtain, has been in use since ancient Rome. Every theater has one and its function is well-known: to separate the stage from the hall, and therefore from the audience. The expectation that rises in those few minutes of admiration of the velvet and of the ornaments of the curtain is essential to appreciate the representation that will begin shortly thereafter; the same holds true when a bottle of red wine is being opened: it is held in the hand, carefully observed in its beauty and elegance and finally uncorked. The curtain is now open and the harmony and velvety red wines of the Velarino line can now be tasted. Ripe, red fruits and purple flowers, with spicy ending and notes of liquorice, elegant and powerful, lots of soft and well-integrated tannins.
