Wine Enthusiast Magazine names Puglia as a top Wine Travel Destination for 2013

Wine Entusiast Magazine names Puglia as a top Wine Travel Destination for 2013

The Wine Enthusiast Magazine reminded all wine connoisseurs about the undiscovered beauty of Puglia, packed tight with stunning architectures, nature and surrounded by some of the bluest waters in Europe. As it is known, Puglia has been a major wine producers for centuries, although most of its wine production has been used for anonymous blending into tankers for too long. As Gambero Rosso magazine recognizes, the region is now “beginning to discover its true potential”.

The discovery of this true potential is really at the heart of Santa Armosa’s philosophy, which has aimed at bringing to the table amazing wines that were unrevealed.

Morella Vini is also the symbol of this resurrection of the wine industry in Puglia. Established a decade ago, Morella has been preserving with passion Puglia’s oldest vineyards, with very remarkable results.

Our pick is Primitivo Negroamaro 2009, two traditional grapes from Salento, the very southern part of the region. 

Primitivo and Negroamaro represent “together the true heart and soul of Apulia’s earth”. The medium vine age is 50 years. The grapes are hand harvested into small boxes and the wine matures in french and american barriques for 10 months and for a minimum of 8 months in bottle. At the nose, this powerful inky wine gives spice and oak with a touch of orange peel over ripe berry fruit. At the palate, this wine has hints of mature red berry fruits with tobacco  notes and a firm tannin.

Combining tradition and innovation this blend is enjoyable to drink young but also has built in aging potential. Enjoy it with mature cheeses, pasta dishes or red meat. Also recommended as a standalone great meditation vine.

Santa Armosa Launches New “Great Extra-Virgin Olive Oils” by Intini

Santa Armosa, LLC, NJ-based distributor of wines and olive oils from the South of Italy, continues its commitment to high quality with the launch in the U.S. market of a new line of prestigious monocultivar extra-virgin olive oils by Intini – Picholine and Cima di Mola. These exquisite gourmet olive oils are now available online on Amazon.com.

Intini’s Picholine Extra-virgin Olive Oil comes from Apulia, Italy and has a rich taste, with a predominance of artichokes, together with subtle nuances of mustard plants, green tomatoes and herbs. This extra-virgin olive oil is delicate on the palate, with a pleasant blend of bitter and peppery finishes.
The Picholine cultivar is extremely high in Polyphenol, which have a proved antioxidant action. This extra-virgin olive oil is, as a result, especially healthy.
Also available now is Intini’s Cima di Mola Extra-Virgin Olive Oil. Cima di Mola is a cultivar that originates in the Itria Valley, Apulia, Italy. It is now almost extinct, given the high costs of the harvesting, as the olives have to be necessarily picked by hand.

Picholine Extra Virgin Olive Oil

This unique and exquisite extra-virgin olive oil has a robust taste, with a predominance of nuts, together with subtle nuances of arugula and tomato leaves. It pairs well with soups and red meats.
Both products represent the excellence in olive oil making. Santa Armosa LLC was established in 2009 to respond to growing customers demand for high-quality and authentic olive oils and wines. These olive oils have been awarded countless prizes, with the Cima di Mola being endorsed by the Slow Food Association as “Great Olive Oil”.
Both Picholine and Cima di Mola Monocultivar are available in 17 Fl. Oz. bottles. An innovative packaging system preserves the freshness of these olive oils. Quantities are extremely limited and can be purchased online exclusively through Amazon.com. Also available on Amazon.com Intini’s Affiorato Extra-virgin Olive Oil.

Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving!

Gold Medal for Santa Armosa at the 2012 NY International Wine Competition

Gold Medal for Santa Armosa at the 2012 NY International Wine Competition

May 28, 2012

SANTA ARMOSA
Winner of the 2012 New York International Wine Competition

Morella 2008 Primitivo Malbec awarded a Gold medal.

Behind Morella stands Lisa Gilbee, an oenologist from Roseworthy in South Australia that went to practice in Tuscany. By 2001 she found herself in Apulia, the ‘heel’ of the Italian boot.

Morella vini has been trying to capture the uniqueness of the Primitivo old bush vine, through modern and sophisticated winemaking, working basically by hand and in an environmental-conscious lifestyle. One of her best achievement so far is Primitivo Malbec, a rare blend of grapes from 40 years old vineyards, that reproduces a classic bouquet that is very similar to a “Bordeaux”.

The New York International Wine Competition (NYIWC) welcomed over 800 submissions from the United States and countries from all over the world. The NYIWC is the only major international wine competition to be judged solely by trade buyers. Each wine is judged by its category and retail price.

You are invited to attend the Winners Circle to taste this fantastic wine:

 

June 18th from 6-9pm

3 West Club

3 West 51st Street New York, NY

We will need you to RSVP ASAP to secure a spot.
