Salento Indicazione Geografica Protetta Red Wine

2019 Salento Negroamaro

Negroamaro Salento Indicazione Geografica Protetta Red Wine is a delightful expression of the Salento region, showcasing the unique characteristics of the Negroamaro varietal. This wine presents a medium-bodied profile, offering a satisfying balance between richness and elegance. The acidity is vibrant, lending a refreshing touch that brightens the overall experience. Flavors of ripe dark fruit, such as black cherry and blackberry, dominate the palate, accompanied by subtle notes of spice and earthiness. The tannins are firm yet well-integrated, providing structure without overpowering the fruit. This red wine is crafted to be dry, allowing the natural flavors to shine through while leaving a clean, lingering finish. Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with savory dishes, this wine embodies the warmth and character of Salento's winegrowing tradition.

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.
