The Wine
Pillastro is one of our bestselling Italian reds – customers love all that richness, warmth and bold, ripe fruit. It comes from Puglia, in Italy’s deep south, best known for big, smoky wines made from the prized local variety Primitivo. This 2020 is from Angelo Maci, a hero in the region for standing up to the big guns and championing the small grower. He started the cellar 40 years ago with 15 growers, now there are 1,000 and he knows them all by name. It's not only growers he saves, but the ancient traditions that make these wines so rich, characterful and super-charged. A leading figure in the quality revolution, he's now teamed up with his daughter, Melissa, as winemaker. A rich, powerful red and a great match to spicy tomato pasta.
