A red wine with 18% alcohol? It sounds like a lot and shouldn't really be possible, as fermentation usually stops at 15-16%, but read on:

The grapes for this wine have been allowed to dry on the vines under the hot sun in Puglia, concentrating the sugar content and flavor aromas. After hand-picking the grapes, they are gently pressed and then left to ferment at low temperatures for between 45 and 60 days. To achieve a higher than "normal" alcohol percentage, some specially selected yeasts are used.

The finished wine is deep and dark in color and has a concentrated bouquet of balsamic and fruity notes of red and dark berries, prunes, roasted walnuts and a little chocolate, cinnamon and tobacco. A lovely full-bodied wine that will go well with hearty meat dishes. Serve it at 18-20 degrees and give it some air before serving.
