Puglia IGTMichele Biancardi Uno Più Uno 2024 is a beautifully expressive red wine from Puglia in southern Italy, bringing together two of the region's distinctive grape varieties, Primitivo and Nero di Troia. The name Uno Più Uno, meaning 'One Plus One', reflects the harmonious combination of these two grapes, each contributing its own character to create a wonderfully balanced and approachable wine.
Produced by Michele Biancardi, a family-run winery situated near Cerignola in northern Puglia, the wine reflects the estate's commitment to traditional grape varieties and authentic regional winemaking. The vineyards benefit from the warm Mediterranean climate, where abundant sunshine encourages the development of ripe, flavourful fruit.
Primitivo provides the wine's generous blackberry, plum and dark cherry flavours, while Nero di Troia contributes freshness, gentle tannins and subtle savoury complexity. The varieties are harvested separately to ensure optimal ripeness before being carefully fermented and matured in stainless steel tanks, preserving their vibrant fruit character without the influence of oak.
The resulting 2024 vintage is rich and inviting, with aromas of ripe dark berries, hints of mocha and delicate spice. On the palate, juicy fruit is complemented by a smooth, rounded texture and a pleasantly savoury finish.
Versatile and easy to enjoy, Uno Più Uno is an excellent companion to Italian cuisine, grilled meats and relaxed gatherings, offering an authentic taste of southern Italy at an accessible price.
A medium-to-full-bodied, fruit-forward Italian red with generous dark berry flavours, smooth tannins and a rounded, satisfying texture.
The Primitivo contributes ripe plum and blackberry richness, while Nero di Troia introduces freshness, subtle spice and gentle savoury complexity.
