* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

This Negroamaro-based rosé from the south of Italy boasts a bright pink color with ruby hues and aromas of white cherry, raspberry, cranberry and pink rose. In fact, pretty floral aromas do a nice job of filling in the back.

This medium-bodied Chardonnay is nutty and pear-scented, with plump, ripe pear fruit balanced by a grapefruity undercurrent that turns a bit metallic on the finish.

A slight funk, reminiscent of rhubarb or sauerkraut, detracts from the otherwise pleasant red berry aromas. A creamy mouthfeel complements milk chocolate and lactic flavors that turn tart and thin on the finish.

This is a delightfully easy and fresh white wine. Like most expressions of this promising variety, this wine shoes mineral characteristics backed by citrus, peach and pear.

Here is a lean and more compact Fiano from Puglia that offers drying mineral and some yellow fruit. Overall, the wine is neutral and the impression it leaves on the palate is short and simple.

Here’s a pretty Riserva Salice Salentino (a blend of Negroamaro and Malvasia Nera) with vibrant tones of spice and mature fruit. The wine’s flavors are chewy and dense and fuel the wine’s lush texture.

This “super Puglian” blend of Montepulciano, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot delivers simple but polished aromas of red cherry, blueberry, spice and toast. It has a solid, chewy finish and offers lush berry flavors on the palate.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

Some wines are modern in style; others more traditional. Put this aromatic Puglian blend of 85% Negroamaro and 15% Malvasia Nera in the latter category. There’s no bulk, heavy extract or pounding oak; just aromas of lavender, flower petals and citrus rind accompanying racy raspberry fruit accentuated by sharp acids. Any rawness will be tamed by pizza, pasta or a chunk of hard cheese.
