Alberto Longo Italian Red
A mature Puglian red, kept in small supply in Commack.
The story behind Alberto Longo
Italian red covers a wide map, from bright young Sangiovese to the warm, sun ripened reds of the south. Puglia, the heel of Italy, is known for generous, full bodied wines built on grapes like Negroamaro and Primitivo, often dark in color with soft tannin and savory, earthy fruit.
We stock Alberto Longo Le Crute 2006 here in Commack, one bottle at a time, and it is a fine example of how southern Italian reds can age into something mellow and food friendly. Quantities are limited, so call ahead if you want to be sure it is on the shelf.

Which Alberto Longo is right for you?
Alberto Longo Le Crute 2006 is priced at $34.99 for the 750mL bottle. That is a fair number for a nearly two decade old southern Italian red, and we only have a bottle or two in the shop. If you want it, order online or call the store and we will set it aside for pickup.
Mature tannin and savory fruit stand up to braised beef and lamb.
A single aged Puglian bottle worth trying while it lasts.
