About This Wine

Valle Cupa — meaning "dark valley" — is a wine of real depth and personality. The combination of Negroamaro's savoury structure and Primitivo's ripe, generous fruit creates a wine that is full-bodied yet balanced, with a freshness that keeps it lively on the palate. A true expression of Puglia at its best.
