Natalie's Score: 92/100

Leone de Castris Riserva 2019 is an excellent value full-bodied Negroamaro from the Puglia wine region at $23. So fragrant and juicy, this is a robust red with rich dark cherry, blackberry, dark chocolate and flinty mineral flavours vibrant and lingering on the palate with cocoa powder tannins. An outstanding Negroamaro to drink through 2028.
