Fossato

2013 Salento Negroamaro

The 2013 Fossato Fossato, a captivating expression of Negroamaro from the renowned Salento region, presents a beautifully deep ruby hue that hints at its rich character. This wine boasts a full-bodied nature, enveloping the palate with roundness and complexity. Its acidity is bright and lively, providing a refreshing contrast to the bold fruit notes that are prominent throughout. The fruit intensity is quite pronounced, showcasing luscious dark berries and plum intertwined with subtle herbal undertones. The tannins are well-structured, adding a firm backbone that enhances the wine's depth without overpowering its elegant finish. With a delightful dry profile, Fossato Fossato is perfect for pairing with hearty dishes, making it a wonderful choice for any occasion.

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.
