"Severino Garofano, one of the most important players in Puglian winemaking in the last 40 years ...” GAMBERO ROSSO 2008

The Garofano family; celebrated oenologist Severino, with Renata and Stefano, run this fascinating and deeply historical property and retain a considerable amount of its mixed-agricultural heritage complementary to the vines. Small-scale but traditional aspects like grain, olive oil and cheese production reflect a more complete agricultural mix the Garofano’s believe is true balance.

The wines of Monaci concentrate on the traditional red varieties of their Copertino production zone; Negroamaro, Malvasia Nera, Montepulciano and Primitivo, mostly from lower-yielding vines of some age. The wines are authentic, quite distinctive, bold and rich in character and very good value – especially as they are released with more age than usual.

We are delighted to offer the highly acclaimed Copertino Rosso 'Eloquenzia'.
