Farmers of Wine Organic Red Blend - Item Code: 04469
Discover Farmers of Wine Organic Red Blend:
Farmers of Wine is a blended red wine made from organic grapes with notes of fruits, spices, and jam. It’s made from Primitivo (Zinfandel) and Negramaro grapes from Salento, a harsh and coriaceous region.
The areas of Campania, Basilicata, Puglia, Calabria, and Sicily, as well as the distant cousin Sardegna, make up the toe, heel, and ankle of the Italian “boot.” There are a plethora of intriguing indigenous grape types, each area has its own winemaking traditions and styles, and the wines are often less costly than their Northern equivalents.
Producer Notes: Farmers of Wine
Farmers of Wine is a drinks producer that is based in the heart of the Italian wine region, Piedmont. The company was founded in 2000 by a group of local farmers who were passionate about producing high-quality wines that reflected the unique terroir of the region.
The company’s philosophy is based on a deep respect for the land and the environment, and they use sustainable farming practices to ensure that their wines are not only delicious but also environmentally friendly. They work closely with local farmers to source the best grapes, and they use traditional winemaking techniques to create wines that are full of character and flavor.
Farmers of Wine is best known for their Barolo wines, which are made from the Nebbiolo grape and are considered some of the finest wines in the world. Their Barolo wines are aged for at least three years in oak barrels, which gives them a complex and rich flavor profile. They also produce other red wines, such as Barbera and Dolcetto, as well as white wines like Moscato and Arneis.
In addition to their wines, Farmers of Wine also produces a range of other drinks, including grappa, which is a traditional Italian spirit made from the pomace (the leftover grape skins, seeds, and stems) of the winemaking process. Their grappa is made using traditional methods and is aged in oak barrels to give it a smooth and complex flavor.
Overall, Farmers of Wine is a company that is deeply rooted in the traditions and culture of the Piedmont region. They are committed to producing high-quality wines and spirits that reflect the unique terroir of the area, and they are dedicated to preserving the environment for future generations.

Blended Red Wine is a harmonious combination of various grape varieties, crafted to create a complex and balanced flavor profile. Typically featuring grapes such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Zinfandel, and Grenache, these wines showcase an array of taste sensations that include dark fruits like blackberry and plum alongside red fruits such as cherry and raspberry. The addition of spices like pepper and clove, along with herbal notes of mint and eucalyptus, further enriches the experience.
This wine style is characterized by its medium to full-bodied texture with smooth tannins and balanced acidity. Aromas of blackcurrant, vanilla, oak, chocolate, and leather contribute to its inviting bouquet. Blended Red Wines are often aged in oak barrels for added complexity and undergo malolactic fermentation for a softer mouthfeel. Ideal for casual gatherings or dinner parties, they pair beautifully with grilled meats, hearty pasta dishes like Bolognese, barbecue fare, and aged cheeses.
