I somehow acquired 3 bottles of this wine, drank one tonight, not my cup of tea (or wine). Got 2 remaining.
Pretty sure this was a Parker recommendation from back in the day.
Mostly Primitivo, some other grapes mixed in.
Low US WS Pro is $95 per bottle in Nashville, no other offers either in the US or globally.
2 bottles to go.
Post bids here, total price for both bottles. Public.
Highest bid by Friday at 5pm EST takes the 2 bottles.
You pay for shipping, you send me a shipping label and take shipping risk.
No bids so far? Bid $1. If you win I’ll send the wine for $1 and a shipping label. Someone want to get the ball rolling? Might get the 2 bottles for $1! Good CT reviews, take a shot!!!
We have a bid. Brent is the current high bid at $1.99 for a total of 2 bottles. If this is the high bid, I’m gonna sell them and Brent is gonna get a good deal.
Anyone Else?? Bid is $1.99. Going once… Going Twice…
Agreed. If I remember correctly, this was one of the wines in Small Vineyards’ book. I think this is the same producer that made the Forte Canto line of wines. Back in mid-2000s, Forte Canto had a great inexpensive (under $10) Negroamaro – rustic but still tasty. Somehow I ended up with a bottle of the Monstyronum when I was part of a wine club at a local shop. Put it away in the back of my cellar, and pulled it out a few years ago. Lets just say there’s a reason I didn’t bid on these. That being said, hope the buyer enjoys them!
Winemaker Notes
A blend of 55% Negroamaro, 30% Aleatico and 15% Primitivo.
Perhaps the most ambitious wine ever attempted in the South of Italy, Massimiliano Apollonio has created a monster - a beautiful, impossibly alluring and opulent wine that defies all that you know of Southern varietals. Aged in new barrique for nearly seven years. An impossibly well-balanced wine, with steeped plum, brambleberry, cocoa, and whiskey aromas. Deeper still is cinnamon, clove and rose water. Will age for thirty to fifty years.
