I am so delighted to read you had all this incredible food and wine. I am a big fan of Puglia wines which don't stay for too long in the oak. When they stay in the oak, I prefer the French one. I think Puglia wines have such wonderful and unique flavors and it's a shame to cover with oaky taste. Cantore di Castelforte is one of my favorite wineries in Puglia. I love the DOC Primitivo di Manduria Donna Maria (the one you had!), which is made with the "alberello" vines. Alberello is a very old and small vine which can only be manually harvested. I also love the IGT Primitivo di Manduria Donna Maria which does not stay in the oak at all. Try it if you have a chance in NYC or....if you come to Puglia! Mark!
