Cantina Sociale Cooperativa Copertino Riserva 1999
Italy, Apulia ($13)

My WBW #16 entry had the excitement of a bottle rocket, that in my opinion, didn't do justice to the Southern Italian region of Apulia, but this wine does. A 95% blend of negroamaro and 5% Malvasia nera, it is similar to the more recognizable Salice Salentino, but this comes from the town of Copertino. This town has gained the reputation of producing some of the most respected premium wines of Apulia.

A ruby red color makes this wine look appetizing enough. The nose is full of dark cherries and currants. It is medium bodied and dry with a supple texture. I love the earthiness of this wine that really shows itself in the finish. A great wine with food or on its own. My grade: B+
