The 2007 Valle Cupa is a 50-50 blend of Negroamaro and Primitivo that is fermented in barrel and aged in both American and French oak for an additional 12 months. It delivers a full load of deep, spicy flavors including cardamom, clove and nutmeg. There is a thick layer of super-ripe fruit at the back that integrates well enough within that spicy oak context. Valle Cupa delivers a two-prong approach with fruit ripeness upfront and evolved tertiary notes in the background. The close is redolent of tar, resin and cured meat. I would suggest a short, two-year drinking window.
