Burdi

2012 Salento Negroamaro

The Duca Carlo Guarini Burdi, a fantastic vintage from 2012, showcases the vibrant character of Negroamaro from the picturesque Salento region. This exquisite red wine presents a medium body, providing a comforting and satisfying mouthfeel. Its acidity is quite balanced, lending a refreshing quality that complements the wine's rich profile. The fruit intensity is pronounced, revealing alluring notes of dark cherry and ripe plum, enriched by subtle hints of herbs and spices that reflect the unique terroir of Salento. The tannins are firm yet approachable, adding structure without overwhelming the palate, making it a delightful choice for any occasion. This wine is also dry, ensuring a clean and enjoyable finish that keeps you coming back for another sip.

Region:


Puglia
Puglia

The heel of Italy's "boot," sunny Puglia (the "g" is silent), is famed for its olive oils, almonds and of course, its rich, full-bodied wines. Although dry and intensely hot in the summer, Puglia has coastlines on three sides, providing cool Mediterranean breezes to alleviate the daytime heat. Primitivo (known in the US as Zinfandel) does well here, with other popular red varieties including Sangiovese and Negroamaro. But it is not all about reds in Puglia: the local Fiano grape produces gloriously nutty, tropical-flavored white, while Falanghina makes intensely fruity wines with citrus blossom notes.
