Sampietrana

2014 Salento Negroamaro

The Settebraccia Sampietrana from the 2014 vintage beautifully showcases the depth and character of the Negroamaro varietal, hailing from the renowned Salento region in Italy. This red wine reveals a vibrant ruby hue, enticing the senses right from the first glance. On the nose, it offers a captivating bouquet of dark cherry and ripe plum, intertwined with notes of earthy spice and subtle hints of herbal undertones. The palate is rich and full-bodied, delivering a harmonious balance between vibrant acidity and smooth, well-structured tannins. As you savor each sip, the fruit intensity emerges powerfully, complemented by a lingering finish that invites another taste. This wine is undoubtedly a delightful expression of its terroir, making it perfect for a variety of culinary pairings.

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.
