Salento Negroamaro

2013 Salento Negroamaro

The Angiulidonato Salento Negroamaro is a captivating red wine hailing from the picturesque Salento region in Italy, renowned for its sun-soaked vineyards and rich winemaking tradition. This 2013 vintage showcases a medium-bodied profile, offering a delightful balance between its vibrant fruit character and well-integrated structure. The wine exhibits pronounced acidity, contributing to a refreshing mouthfeel that makes it an excellent companion for a variety of dishes. Its fruit intensity is prominent, revealing luscious notes of ripe blackberries and cherries, complemented by subtle hints of spice and earthiness. The tannins are firm yet smooth, providing a solid backbone while maintaining a round and velvety texture. With a medium-dry finish, this Negroamaro is undeniably food-friendly, making it an ideal choice for gatherings or intimate dinners alike.

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.
