Pillastro Selezione d'Oro 2021

Angelo Maci’s ‘Gold Selection’ Pillastro has quite the awards pedigree, including a gold medal from the 2021 American Wine Awards for the previous edition. And here is the latest release...

You’re in for a serious treat, especially if you love RICH, bold reds. One sip of his latest Pillastro Selezione d’Oro and you’ll understand why Angelo’s been named Southern Italian Winemaker of the Year three times at Vinitaly. Handcrafted with chocolatey, old-vine Primitivo grapes sourced from Angelo’s very best sites in Puglia, then given a splash of deep, dark Negroamaro, the wine was barrel aged for extra smoothness and complexity. (Fun fact: Angelo’s 45-year-old vines are so low yielding, it takes the fruit from an entire plant to make just a single bottle of Selezione d’Oro!)

This rich, sun-baked treat comes into its own with hearty and rustic Italian fare. Serve at your next big family dinner—it’s a guaranteed hit. Word to the wise: just like Angelo’s regular Pillastro, his Selezione d’Oro has a big following—so hurry to guarantee your share.
