The edition number on the label represents the number of years since the wine’s first release (1999). The reason for this, is that the blend’s five autochthonous (‘cinque autoctoni’) grapes actually come from two regions, Puglia (townships Sava) and Abruzzo (townships Colonnella, Ortona and San Marzano).
With Edizione concept, Farnese (renamed Fantini recently) wanted to prove that ‘it’s possible to make great wine employing the enormous potential of Italy’s indigineous grapes’ – and it has!
Varieties: Montepulciano 33%, Primitivo 30%, Sangiovese 25%, Negroamaro 7%, e Malvasia Nera 5%
Very deep garnet red. Very intense and persistent with notes of cherry and blackcurrant, herbs, cinnamon, cloves, cocoa, licorice and hints of mineral. Great structure, good balance between alcohol and freshness, velvety tannins, very persistent with a long finish, ready to drink, or can well be aged for long.
Excellent with rich first courses, red meat and with medium and long seasoned cheese.
