Rosso

2015 Puglia Negroamaro

La Rocca Rosso is a captivating expression of the Negroamaro varietal from the sun-kissed region of Puglia. This beautiful red wine presents a deep, garnet hue that hints at its rich character. The body is full and robust, delivering an enticing mouthfeel that envelops the palate. With lively acidity, it showcases a perfect balance that invigorates each sip and enhances the overall experience. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing layers of dark cherry, plum, and hints of dried herbs that create a complex yet harmonious profile. Tannins are firm yet well-integrated, adding structure without overwhelming the wine. Being dry, La Rocca Rosso is a wonderful companion to hearty dishes, making it an ideal choice for gatherings and culinary adventures. This 2015 vintage not only captures the essence of Puglia but also exemplifies the mastery of winemaking in this cherished Italian region.

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.
