Megale

2013 Salento Negroamaro

Cantine San Giorgio Megale is a captivating red wine crafted from the esteemed Negroamaro varietal, hailing from the picturesque Salento region of Italy. This 2013 vintage presents a beautiful deep ruby hue, hinting at its robust character. On the nose, the wine showcases an enticing bouquet of dark fruits, such as ripe blackberries and cherries, intertwined with subtle earthy notes and a whisper of spices. The palate reveals a well-balanced structure, marked by an inviting medium body and moderate acidity, contributing to its pleasant mouthfeel. Tannins are notably firm yet supple, allowing for a harmonious finish that lingers with a soft, fruit-forward essence. This captivating wine is perfect for pairing with hearty Italian dishes, making it a delightful addition to any meal.

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.
