Here’s a wine from Puglia that tastes like the sun-drenched southern region thanks to an aromatic assortment of Mediterranean oregano and sage, mint tea, dried hay and ripe red fruit. Not a gigantically structured wine, but a lighter-hued blend of Negroamaro and Malvasia Nera that would bring out the best in pork or roasted chicken.——M.L.(11/15/2005)—— 87
