2008 Salento Negroamaro

The San Marzano F is a captivating red wine hailing from the sun-drenched region of Salento in Italy. This 2008 vintage showcases the unique characteristics of the Negroamaro varietal, offering a rich and full-bodied experience. Its deep, dark hue invites you to explore its complex aromas, which meld notes of ripe blackberries, plums, and hints of baking spices, creating an indulgent olfactory experience. On the palate, the wine is wonderfully balanced with a gratifying acidity that brightens the fruit intensity, making each sip incredibly refreshing. The tannins are notable yet smooth, providing structure without overwhelming the elegant fruit. This wine leans toward a dry profile, making it an excellent companion for hearty dishes such as grilled meats or aged cheeses. Enjoy this wine as an expression of Salento's terroir, where tradition and quality unite beautifully.

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.
