Puglia offers “undreamed-of character and potential” (Hugh Johnson) and “reds that give you a lot of wine for your money” (Decanter), yet even in this context Pillastro Selezione d’Oro stands out. It's the work of Angelo Maci, a champion of the region, who started the Cantine Due Palme cellar in the 1980s to save the growers and the region's traditions. Since then Cantine Due Palme has been Winery of the Year three times, while Angelo Maci has multiple Winemaker of the Year titles and a Lifetime Achievement award. This premium edition takes grapes from 50-year-old vines to add even greater depth of flavour. Ageing in French oak barrels adds spice to this complex rich, dense fruit red. Decant and serve with roast meats or a rich pasta dish.
