Der Grüne Punkt

2012 Salento Negroamaro

Bruno Zona Der Grüne Punkt is a captivating red wine crafted from the Negroamaro varietal, hailing from the sun-kissed region of Salento. This 2012 vintage showcases a deep, inviting ruby hue that entices the eye. On the palate, it presents a medium-bodied experience with a delightful balance between moderate acidity and pronounced fruit intensity, offering layers of dark cherries and plums harmoniously intertwined with hints of earthy undertones. The tannins are notable yet smooth, providing structure without overshadowing the wine's vibrant character. As a dry wine, it pairs beautifully with a variety of foods, making it an excellent choice for gatherings or special occasions. This enchanting selection exemplifies the rich heritage of Salento winemaking, promising a memorable tasting experience.

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.
