​Rosso Puglia Casato D'Alojsa - 2009
$4.98
Produced from the Negroamaro grape. A light colored, transparent, red wine.  Fruity, spicy, light. It's a wine destined for pizza or pasta. It's brightness would go well with fish or with cheese and fruit. Don't be surprised by the low price. It's a decent wine, if you pair it properly.

​Filari De Sant' Antoni - 2012
$11.96
A Salento Negroamaro grape, unoaked, spicey, tones of roses, cinnamin, fairly full body, strong tannins. Great with marinara sauces and sausages. More than likely gets a bit more robust with aging.

​Torre Nova Negroamaro 2014
$10.98 (Astor Wines)
This is an organic, un-oaked, red wine--that is, it was not aged on an oak barrel. It's from the Salento region of Puglia--the heel of the boot. It was full bodied and fruity at first, but then the acidic youthfulness hit my tongue. The finish was smooth and a bit spicy. It reminded me of a rustic Chianti. This might be a bottle to keep for a few years to see how it ages. It went great with a primavera pasta and would be a good mix on the palette with beef.
