Abatemasi

Salento Negroamaro

The Produttori Vini Manduria Abatemasi is a stunning expression of the Negroamaro varietal, hailing from the sun-drenched Salento region of Italy. This full-bodied red wine captivates the senses with its deep ruby color and alluring aromas of dark berries, plums, and a hint of earthiness. On the palate, it showcases a perfectly balanced structure, featuring prominent, ripe tannins that provide a firm backbone, while the acidity adds a refreshing lift. The fruit intensity is remarkable, with luscious flavors that linger and evolve, complemented by subtle notes of Mediterranean herbs and spices. This dry wine is a true testament to the unique terroir of Salento, delivering an exquisite drinking experience that invites delightful pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying on its own.

Salento

The heel of Italy's boot, Salento is a hot, sun-baked region known for its rustic red wines. Most are made from the holy trinity of local grapes: Negroamaro, Malvasia Nera and Primitivo (usually known as Zinfandel in the New World). Some of these robust blends feature big Italian names like Sangiovese and famous French grapes like Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. While powerful red wines are the main attraction here, white wines from Salento, with their intense, fruity aromas, are also worth seeking.
