Epicuro wines are made by Femar Vini, a winery with its origins just outside Rome. It was founded by Armando Merge, and his son Felice has since taken over the family business. This also marked the transition to Puglia. This region was previously relatively unknown to winemakers; it was primarily a relatively poor part of Italy. However, a few bold movers, including the Merge family, took the plunge. This gives Epicuro access to some of Puglia's finest vineyards, which are still maintained under the family's strict supervision.
The Epicuro wines were a hit. Dutch consumers, in particular, fell in love with the simple yet perfectly structured wines Epicuro created. After forty years, we can finally enjoy this Cuvée Rosso. A true spectacle, where the family's pride is clearly evident. The grapes, Negroamaro and Syrah, come from specially selected vineyards and are hand-harvested. The blend? That's a closely guarded secret of the winemaker. Only one thing is certain: Cuvée Rosso is incredibly delicious.
