Salsedine

2022 Puglia Negroamaro

Salsedine Salsedine, a delightful 2022 vintage from the sun-kissed region of Puglia, showcases the captivating essence of the Negroamaro grape. This red wine presents a medium-bodied character, striking a harmonious balance with its vibrant acidity that keeps the palate engaged and refreshed. The fruit intensity is prominent, unveiling luscious notes of dark cherry and ripe plum, which are beautifully complemented by hints of earthy undertones. With mild tannins, the wine is smooth and approachable, making it an excellent choice for both casual gatherings and more sophisticated dining experiences. This red wine is dry, allowing the natural fruit flavors to shine through, and it pairs wonderfully with a wide variety of dishes, from savory pasta to hearty grilled meats.

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.
