Notarpanaro

2007 Salento Negroamaro

The 2007 Cosimo Taurino Notarpanaro, hailing from the renowned Salento region, showcases the exceptional qualities of the Negroamaro varietal. This red wine presents a deep and inviting ruby color, signaling its richness. On the palate, it offers a medium to full body, balanced by a high level of acidity that contributes to its lively character. The fruit intensity is prominent, featuring enticing dark fruit flavors, such as plum and black cherry, intertwined with subtle earthy notes. Tannins are structured and firm, providing a solid backbone that enhances its aging potential. As a dry wine, the Cosimo Taurino Notarpanaro exemplifies a beautifully crafted expression of its terroir, making it an excellent choice for pairing with rich dishes or enjoying 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.
