Wine Details

The Wine

Il Brutto Anniversario is a luxurious red wine, a special edition red packed with dark, spiced fruit that marks a decade of an ultra-ripe, richly fruity wine from ancient, sun-drenched vineyards.

So low yielding were these heirloom Negroamaro and Primitivo vines that the growers in Puglia were contemplating bringing in the bulldozer to rip them out, so they could plant something more profitable. However, champion of the region and its great traditions, Angelo Maci (three-time winner of 'Winemaker of the Year') persuaded them that the fruit of these old vines could make a magnificent rich red.

The vines’ twisted trunks may be ugly (‘brutto’) to outsiders, but they’re things of beauty to those in the know. Ultra-smooth, full-bodied and packed with ripe black cherry, blackberries and layers of vanilla and spice, this monumental red wine is a treat with hearty dishes.
