Le Braci

2007 Salento Negroamaro

Garofano Le Braci is a captivating red wine crafted from the Negroamaro varietal, hailing from the picturesque Salento region. This vintage, 2007, showcases an elegant balance of medium-bodied structure and vibrant acidity, making it wonderfully refreshing. The fruit intensity is prominent, displaying luscious notes of ripe dark fruit, complemented by subtle hints of spice that evoke the region's sun-drenched landscapes. Tannins are notably firm and well-integrated, providing a robust backbone that supports its rich flavors. This wine is decidedly dry, offering a polished and satisfying finish that invites contemplation and enjoyment with a variety of culinary pairings.

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.
