N°Zero

2008 Salento Negroamaro

Vini Menhir N°Zero, a stunning red wine from the Salento region, showcases the expressive characteristics of the Negroamaro varietal. With its deep ruby hue, this 2008 vintage captivates the senses immediately. On the palate, it presents a medium-bodied experience, balanced with a lively acidity that invigorates the taste buds. The fruit intensity is pronounced, unveiling luscious notes of dark cherry and ripe blackberry, complemented by subtle undertones of baking spices. The tannins are notably firm, providing structure and depth, while the wine finishes with a dry edge that leaves a refreshing aftertaste. Perfect for pairing with hearty dishes, Vini Menhir N°Zero is a delightful exploration of Southern Italy’s winemaking artistry.

Region:


Salento

The heel of Italy's boot, Salento is a hot, sun-baked region known for its rustic red wines. Most are made from the holy trinity of local grapes: Negroamaro, Malvasia Nera and Primitivo (usually known as Zinfandel in the New World). Some of these robust blends feature big Italian names like Sangiovese and famous French grapes like Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. While powerful red wines are the main attraction here, white wines from Salento, with their intense, fruity aromas, are also worth seeking.
