Tenute Girolamo "Conte Giangirolamo" IGT 14.5% 750ml x 6 btls in wooden branded box
  • Critic tasting note: (2018 vintage)
  • "The nose is warm and toasty yet floral, with aromas of rose petals, strawberries and chocolate above notes of dirt and herbs. The palate is full of denser fruit, but chalky tannins preserve an earthiness."
  • - 87/100, Wine Enthusiast
  • Conte Giangirolamo from the Tenute Girolamo winery comes from a blend of 50% Primitivo and the other 50% Negroamaro. All the grapes are grown in the vineyards owned by the winery, located in the Itria Valley in Puglia, 450 meters above sea level. Here, the soil is calcareous and rich in red earth.
  • It is possible to rediscover a part of history thanks to what remains of a horse farm. It is also important to remember the presence of some specchie including the famous Specchia Tarantina which was going to divide and defend the borders between Messapi and Taranto.
  • The harvest is strictly manual; only the selected grapes are taken to the cellar for winemaking. Once in the cellar, after a soft maceration, the wine ferments and ages in French oak vats for a period between 22 and 24 months. After blending and bottling, the wine rests for another six months in the cellar before being placed on the market.
  • Intense ruby red with violet reflection; the aroma is pleasantly fruity with hints of cherry that alternate with blackberry and blueberry to close with spicy scents of vanilla and cocoa. Harmonious and dry on the palate with silky and well-polished tannins. Excellent persistence and correspondence between aromas and flavours.
  • Excellent with red meats and aged cheeses. Also, try it with cold cuts.
  • grapes (negroamaro and primitivo)
