Vino Rosso on label doesn't give much away apart from it being a "Vino Tavola – table wine" but we can tell you it is an intriguing blend of Negroamaro, Primitivo, Montepulciano and Nero d'Avola from Puglia in Southern Italy. And a real crowd pleaser it is too that covers so many bases. It's fruity and fragrant, silky and sumptuous with enough savoury nuance to give it great appeal. Another of Steve Bennett's top value imports.
"The wine is inspired by the nickname of the Southern Italian winemaker "Big Saro" (Rosario) also called "Il Sarone" by his friends Just like Rosario is one of the most typical Italian names, Il Sarone is a wine with a deep red hue, fruity and dense nose and a round balanced palate."

91/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, March 2019 (2017 Vintage)
"Sweetly fruited and attractively expressed, the inviting bouquet shows Black Doris plum, spiced cherry, vanilla and hazelnut characters with subtle gamey complexity. The palate is succulent and supple with fleshy mouthfeel and silky texture, wonderfully supported by velvety tannins. Flavoursome and immediately appealing. At its best: now to 2021."
90/100 Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review (2017 Vintage)
"Juicy, almost syrupy, red with ripe plum, fruitcake, dried fruits, vanilla and subtle spice flavours. The perfect wine for pasta served with a rich meat sauce."
