Loved for its deep and generous flavor, revealing layers of ripe plum, black cherry, and sweet spices balanced by velvety tannins. The long barrel aging adds warmth and complexity, leaving a lingering aftertaste of cocoa, licorice, and Mediterranean herbs that speaks of southern sun and rich soil. A dense ruby-red color with garnet reflections highlights maturity and elegance. The hue captures the essence of aged red wine from Puglia, expressing both richness and depth, a testament to the region’s generous climate and meticulous craftsmanship. In the aroma, ripe berries, dark chocolate, tobacco, and vanilla intertwine with notes of leather and wild herbs. The bouquet evolves beautifully in the glass, combining the sweetness of fruit with the earthy refinement typical of a Riserva wine from Brindisi.

Cantine Risveglio, founded in the 1950s in Brindisi, embodies the spirit of Apulian viticulture. The name “Fontana Grande” pays tribute to an old city fountain once used by local winemakers. Despite legal challenges over its original name, the wine continues to honor Brindisi’s deep winemaking heritage.
