Here's a wine that will surprise you: a red from the Cinque Terre! This was a gamble that paid off thanks the skill and care of Buranco’s founding oenologist, Sergio Pappalardo. A native of Salerno near the Amalfi Coast, Pappalardo was particularly attuned to coastal environments and to the grapes that flourish in seaside vineyards.
Our red is a blend of Mediterranean Bordeaux grapes (cabernet sauvignon and merlot) and an Australian syrah. The wine is fermented in steel with 20 days of maceration, then soft pressing and racking. Refinement takes 12 months in barriques and tonnaux of French oak, 8 months in steel, and 4 months in the bottle.
