Maime

2004 Salento Negroamaro

The Masseria Maime Maime, a captivating red wine from the Salento region, showcases the rich characteristics of the Negroamaro varietal. This vintage from 2004 presents a full-bodied profile, with vibrant acidity that invigorates the palate. The wine exudes high fruit intensity, offering a delightful array of dark fruits such as black cherry and plum, beautifully complemented by subtle earthy undertones and hints of spice. Its tannins are notable yet refined, providing a firm structure that enhances the overall complexity. The wine is crafted to be dry, making it an excellent choice for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoyed on its own for a truly indulgent 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.
