Jèma Red Wine

Salento Zinfandel

L'astore Masseria Jèma Red Wine is a delightful expression of Zinfandel hailing from the sun-kissed Salento region. This wine boasts a deep, ruby-red color that captivates the eye. On the palate, it reveals a medium-bodied profile, with a harmonious balance of vibrant acidity and juicy fruit intensity, showcasing juicy blackberries and ripe plums that dance playfully together. The tannins are subtle and well-integrated, providing a soft structure that enhances the wine's overall approachability. This Zinfandel is comfortably dry, making it an excellent companion for a variety of dishes, from roasted meats to hearty pasta. L'astore Masseria Jèma is a true reflection of the warm Salento climate, offering a pleasing and 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.
