Country: Italy / Southern Italy
Variety: Red Blend
Winery: Giuseppe Apicella / A’ Scippata Riserva Costa d’Amalfi
Beautifully concentrated and redolent of spice and evident oak aging, this is a powerful wine from the Amalfi Cost that offers tobacco, leather, ash, slate roof, cola, vanilla, blackberry and plump cherry. The grapes used in the blend are the little-known Tintore and Piedirosso varieties native to Campania. Who knew they could taste this good?
