Menhir Cinque Passi Negroamaro 2007

There are very few areas in the world with the history and traditions of wine making equal to Puglia in the South of Italy, their wine making history goes back to the Phoenicians, Greeks and the Romans, who eventually introduced wine to the rest of Europe. There are very few areas in the world which have undergone such an enormous transformation in the last 10 years. They have gone from producing very much bulk and dull wine to world class, modern, juicy, exciting and sexy wines. Menhir is very much a family affair that is situated in Salento, South of Puglia. The wine it is made in a modern style yet not ignoring tradition or its terroir, the 2007 it is the best vintage they have made up to date, ripe fruit intensity with mineral notes, power, balance and amazing middle palate.
