Morgicchio

2011 Salento Negroamaro

Tormaresca Morgicchio is a captivating red wine from the picturesque Salento region, crafted from the illustrious Negroamaro varietal. This 2011 vintage showcases a brilliant deep ruby color that hints at its complexity. The wine presents a medium body, beautifully balanced by vibrant acidity that adds a refreshing touch. Its fruit intensity is prominent, bursting with ripe dark fruit notes, such as blackberries and plums, while subtle undertones of earthy spices and herbs enrich the overall profile. With medium tannins, the wine offers a smooth mouthfeel, making it both approachable and enjoyable. Notably, it is dry, allowing the rich flavors to shine through without being overshadowed, making it an exceptional choice for pairing with a variety of dishes or savoring on its own.

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.
