Masseria Altemura 2005 Aglianico (Puglia)
- $15
Perfumed on the nose, with hints of truffle and mineral mingling easily with black cherry fruit. Tannins are soft, but the impression is one of taut minerality on the palate, as the flavors finish crisp and dusty, marked by hints of crushed stone. Drink now–2012, possibly longer.

Masseria Altemura 2005 Negroamaro (Salento)
- $15
The warmth of Italy’s heel is evident in this wine’s slightly roasted notes of chocolate and coffee, but those flavors marry easily with flavors of black cherry and caramel. Soft and creamy on the palate, yet the wine finishes with decent acidity. Drink now.

Masseria Altemura 2006 Rosato Rosé (Salento)
- $15
Made from Negroamaro, this coppery, peach-hued rosé is rather weighty, with flavors that run toward cherries and chocolate. You could serve it with rich seafood dishes, but it can also stand up to grilled beef.

Masseria Altemura 2005 Sasseo Primitivo (Salento)
- $15
Smoky cola and plum flavors feature some intriguingly briary notes, but also veer toward prune and cooked fruit. Tannins are soft, but the wine is surprisingly tart on the finish. With its crisp acidity, expect it to pair well with tomato-based sauces.
