Novello Red Wine

2011 Salento Negroamaro

Bruno Zona Novello Red Wine is a delightful expression of the Negroamaro varietal, hailing from the picturesque Salento region. This vintage showcases a captivating deep red color that entices the eye, while the aromas are rich and inviting, offering notes of dark fruit and a hint of earthy elegance. On the palate, this wine strikes a harmonious balance, presenting a medium-bodied profile alongside a satisfying acidity that brightens the experience. The tannins are notably soft, providing a velvety mouthfeel that complements the fruit intensity, which is prominent and vibrant. As a dry wine, it pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, making it a splendid choice for both casual gatherings and more refined dining occasions. Enjoy the easygoing charm of this Italian gem, perfect for unwinding after a long day or celebrating special moments with loved ones.

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.
