Quattro Venti

2013 Salento Negroamaro

The Colle Al Vento Quattro Venti, a captivating red wine from the Salento region, showcases the unique character of the Negroamaro varietal. With its deep ruby hue, this vintage from 2013 presents an enchanting bouquet, filled with aromas of ripe red fruits, sweet spices, and subtle earthy undertones. On the palate, it offers a medium-bodied profile, striking a harmonious balance between bright acidity and well-integrated tannins, providing a smooth yet structured mouthfeel. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing layers of juicy cherries and plums that meld effortlessly with hints of pepper and dried herbs. This delightful wine is crafted to be dry, making it an excellent choice for pairing with rich pasta dishes or grilled meats, enhancing any dining experience with its robust and food-friendly nature.

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.
