Wine Flavor Profile
Selvarossa dei Confratelli is a full-bodied red wine with intense aromas of cherry compote, fig and vanilla spice. On the lush, concentrated palate, red cherry and currant flavors mingle with smooth oak notes. The finish is long, warm and spicy, framed by gentle, well-integrated tannins.

Beyond the Label

Growing up in rural Puglia (the heel of Italy’s boot), Angelo Maci learned to respect the land from his grandfather. When he became a winemaker, he set out to save the region’s ancient vines and winemaking traditions. He also wanted to help farmers receive fair pay for their work. So, he set up the Cantine Due Palme with just 15 local growers.

Today, Cantine Due Palme is a three-time Vinitaly Italian Winery of the Year. And Angelo himself has won three Winemaker of the Year titles plus a Lifetime Achievement Award. His Pillastro wines are also extremely popular with our customers. So, naturally, we’re thrilled to bring you Cantine Due Palme’s flagship Riserva.

Angelo crafted it with local stars Negroamaro and Malvasia Nera—both grown on alberello-trained bush vines (a tradition Angelo helped save from extinction). After drying a third of the Negroamaro grapes, which concentrates flavors, he aged the wine for nine months in oak. Then, Angelo let the wine rest in bottle until he was certain it was drinking perfectly.

The results speak for themselves. Selvarossa has been awarded Gambero Rosso’s coveted Tre Bicchieri for 13 years in a row, won the Cinque Grappoli trophy in Bibenda eight years in a row and boasts a slew of praise from leading critic Luca Maroni—including 92 points for the 2017 release.

Look forward to intense aromas of crushed black cherries, roasted black plums and warm vanilla bean. On the lush, concentrated palate, red cherry and currant flavors mingle with smooth oak notes. An ideal choice for braised or roasted meats, as well as hearty pasta dishes.

Angelo normally reserves this special wine only for his friends at Cantine Due Palme, but because of your longtime support, he’s decided to share a few precious cases with our customers. You’ll want to act quickly to secure your share.
