Cantine Menhir ‘Il Mardorlo’ Negroamaro 2014 $16.95 ★★★½
Sniffing this wine for the first time is like walking into a delicatessen where every available piece of ceiling space has a hunk of drying meat or salami hanging from it. Rich, meaty and spicy, this superb-value sip is sourced from the Salento region in Puglia, Italy, it’s laced with prune, cocoa and toasty oak notes. Delicious with super-meaty pizza smothered in black olives, mushrooms and herbs. For stockists, contact the importer Bennett & Deller 09 3789463 info@bdwine.co.nz
