97 Points for 7 Consecutive Vintages!
Let’s skip the hype and dive right in. After over a decade of selling Passo del Sud, there isn’t much left for us to prove. Vintage after vintage it arrives. Vintage after vintage it sells out with lighting speed. And inevitably, the emails asking when it’s coming back aren’t far behind.
Seven consecutive vintages have earned 97 points, an extraordinary run by any measure, but the number that means just as much is the near-perfect score from nearly 100 member reviews. This isn’t a wine people simply try. It’s one they come back for.

Down in the heel of Italy’s boot, among the ancient olive groves of Puglia’s Itria Valley, Masseria Tagaro makes this perennial favourite from a richly layered blend of Primitivo, Nero di Troia and Merlot. The secret is Appassimento, allowing the grapes to partially dry before fermentation, concentrating their flavour and giving Passo its signature richness and wonderfully plush texture.
The 2024 is full-bodied, robust and intensely flavoured, yet remarkably soft, with all the generosity you’d expect from southern Italy. Put a medium-rare ribeye beside it and make sure there’s another bottle within reach. Passo has been one of our most popular wines for years for a very simple reason: it delivers exactly the kind of pleasure people hope for when they pull the cork.
Take a peek at the member reviews below; 4.7 stars translates to “Expect Heavy Competition” for this one.
