The 2011 Negroamaro Maru shows good intensity in its dark fruit. There isn’t a ton of varietal nuance in the glass, but the wine is very nicely balanced just the same. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2014.
Castello Monaci is known for forward, juicy wines that deliver tons of quality for the money. This set of new releases includes a number of terrific buys.
