Description:	Masseria Li Veli is an imposing building on the southernmost slopes of the Murge hills. The project is the result of a partnership between the Falvo, Guercia Sammarco, and Maci families. Together they have decided to give new life to an old dream of the Marquis Antonio De Viti De Marco, a famous Italian economist who, at the beginning of the century, had chosen this farm to transform it into a model winery for the whole of southern Italy. The pre-existing stone structure has been transformed and enlarged, according to a well-planned and functional design in keeping with the style and layout of the original building. Dense ruby red with a purplish rim, the wine is immediately intense on the nose with marked aromas of ripe and fleshy red fruits, notably cherries followed by spicy notes of cinnamon and nutmeg; in the mouth it is full, powerful, smooth and very long, with a well defined acid streak which makes it fresh and pleasing. This wine would pair well with gamey or grilled red meats, and ripe or semi-ripe cheeses.
