Producer: | The Carmine Crocco was called by the people "Re dei Re". As part of the Italian movement of the Risorgimento, the Briganti joined the legendary Carmine Crocco. Since promises of reform were not followed after the seizure of power by King Victor Emanuel, the brigands moved into the woods and made the life of aristocracy a-la-Robin-Hood a little harder. |
Region | The fertile region of Puglia in the very south of Italy, practically on the heel, stretches 350km along the Adriatic coast. The Mediterranean climate and the well-suited soil create ideal conditions for rich red wines, especially from the Negroamaro and Primitivo grapes. |
