Masseria Surani Ares 2016

Ares is made from Primitivo, Negroamaro, and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, and is round and fruity with rich plum notes. Ideal with a range of contemporary cuisines.

50% Primitivo, 30% Negroamaro, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. Bottled by S.S. Agricola Tommasi Viticoltori. Tommasi's passion for wine and desire to discover and select the very best in Italian winemaking have taken them to the location of Manduria, Puglia in the southeast region of Italy, one of the finest zones for the cultivation of the Primitivo grape, where viticulture has extremely ancient origins dating back to the time of Magna Graecia. Around 198 acres of land have been purchased here for the Surani estate. The property, which lies about 3.7 miles from the Ionian coast, also includes a manor house called "Masseria" dating back to the early 1900s, a typical complex of agricultural buildings which originally acted as an organizational center for all of the farming operations. After been refurbished the Masseria is today housing a winery of 7,535 sq. ft. complete with vinification and maturation facilities.
