Espra

Salento Negroamaro

Taurino Francesco S.A.S. Espra is a captivating red wine crafted from the Negroamaro grape in the renowned region of Salento. The wine displays a full body that envelops the palate with rich flavors and a velvety texture. Its acidity is well-balanced, adding a refreshing brightness to each sip. The fruit intensity is notable, with aromas and flavors of dark berries and plums that linger enticingly. The tannins are firm and structured, providing a pleasing depth to the overall profile. The wine finishes dry, leaving a lasting impression of elegance and sophistication.

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.
