The 2001 Rosso Puglia adds a small percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon to Negro Amaro for the basic everyday wine of the house, an offering with attractive berry fruit, Mediterranean herbs, and licorice in its aromas and flavors, a soft medium weight, and more than adequate length. Note: These wines are sold under the brand name Tormaresca in the American marketplace.Importer: Remy Amerique, New York, NY; tel. (212) 399-4200

The 2000 Rosso (a tank-fermented and aged blend of 70% Aglianico and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon) exhibits a deep ruby color in addition to a sweet nose of smoky, black cherry and berry fruit, medium body, a supple texture, and plenty of flavor. Drink it over the next 2-3 years (it can be served chilled).Importer: Remy Amerique, New York, NY; tel. (212) 399-0200
