Masseria Borgo dei Trulli, Negroamaro IGP Salento

Many wine buyers look at the labels of Trulli wines and think that it must be an artistic representation of the concept of hypnosis. "Look into the deep ruby colour of the wine, not around the wine, into the wine, 1, 2, 3, you're under!" A whiff of ripe forest fruit, nutmeg and liquorice. Then while you're floating around on the ocean of your own subconscious you realise that, all this time, you've been tasting flavours of plums, wild strawberries and black pepper so seductively intense that for the past 12 minutes you've been quacking like a duck. "1,2,3 you're back in the room!"
