If you like your reds BIG on flavor and value, you’ll love this top find from the sun-drenched tip of Italy’s heel and the Colucci family’s award-winning cellar.

Duca Petraccone takes its name from a 10th century wine-loving nobleman and its mouthfilling blackberry flavor from the Colucci estate’s 70-year-old, hand-tended Primitivo vines. The family’s double-gold medal winner is a prime example of the full-flavored, top-value wines emerging from Puglia. Or, as Robert Parker calls them, “sensational bargains with real soul.”

Deep purple, with enticing aromas of spicy blackberry and plum. Succulent dark fruit flavors, layered with gentle oak undertones. A perfect pairing with hearty dishes — think roast beef, juicy veal or rich pastas. 13% Vol. Enjoy to 2012.
