About the cellar

In 1989, inspired by a huge passion for Puglia, its land and its growers, the great Angelo Maci set up the Cantine Due Palme cooperative. From very small beginnings, it has grown and has won top awards – three times ‘Best Winemaker of Puglia’, ‘Best Italian Winery’, plus a Lifetime Achievement award for Angelo himself. He is an inspiration … his face is on billboards … a champion of the people and its great winemaking traditions. Yet Angelo and his team are also pioneers, and leaders in sustainability too. Angelo still knows and values every grower. Their flagship red, reserved for these growers and honorary ‘grower’ partners, is a magnificent, multi-award Riserva.

The wine:

The Selvarossa dei Confratelli Riserva is a masterpiece of intense red fruit, woven with rich spice. Silky, long – a red whose flavours soar like the sound of an orchestra in full ‘song’. The very best parcels of Negroamaro (growers vie for their grapes to be included) are used each year, a third of them air-dried for added concentration, plus a small portion of the perfumed Malvasia Nera. Aged for nine months in French oak barriques and longer in bottle before release, it’s layered with intense cherry compote, fig, vanilla and oak spice. What Angelo calls his "wine of meditation … and conversation."

Support this inspirational winery:

Angelo reminds us the cellar was promoting ‘sustainability’ before it was fashionable and continues to, with lots of exciting initiatives. The winery is still very much a champion of the people and its great traditions – inspiring stuff to read. Sign up for a case of their fabulous, darkly spiced Riserva, enjoy their wine, hear all their news and know you’re supporting a winery that really cares.
