I vini di Botromagno su The Wine Advocate

Sono il Gravina Bianco 2015, il Primitivo Murgia Rosso 2014 e il Nero di Troia Murgia Rosso 2014 le tre etichette recensite da The Wine Advocate, la celebre rivista (cartacea e on line) diretta da Robert Parker.Le recensioni, a firma delcorrispondente per l’ItaliaMonica Larner, rientrano nell’articolo che The Wine Advocate ha dedicato alla Puglia.Le recensioni:BOTROMAGNO Nero di Troia Murgia Rosso 2014 – 88 points“Botromagno is one of Puglia’s historic go-to producers that offers enticing value buys from southern Italy. The 2014 Nero di Troia is an authentic and slightly rustic expression that ultimately provides a lively and pleasurable drinking experience. The wine’s structure is not too dense or thick which means you have many food pairing options to play with. The bouquet offers wild berry aromas with forest floor, button mushroom and black olive. This wine is made without oak.”BOTROMAGNO Primitivo Murgia Rosso 2014 – 87+ points“From the Murgia IGT appellation, the 2014 Primitivo is a world apart from the expressions of this same grape made further south of here in the Salento area of Puglia. In fact, I initially mistook the grape used here for Aglianico, which would not be a stretch considering how close the vineyards are to the regions of Basilicata and Campania where Aglianico reigns supreme. But this is Primitivo, a grape with radically different aromatic and taste parameters. This interpretation shows stripped down simplicity with austere red fruit and more natural structure than expected. Botromagno delivers excellent value here.”BOTROMAGNO Gravina Bianco 2015 – 87 points“The 2015 Gravina (a blend of 60% Greco and 40% Malavasia) opens to an off-gold color that may spark initial concern. The wine does indeed sport a slightly oxidative style that is totally in line with some of the other full-bodied whites of southern Italy. The bouquet is loaded with stone fruit and apricot with honey, cantaloupe melon and dried garden herbs.”
