Vigna delle Monache

2006 Salice Salentino Negroamaro

Vigna Delle Monache is a captivating red wine crafted from the rich and vibrant Negroamaro varietal, hailing from the esteemed Salice Salentino region. This 2006 vintage displays a deep ruby color that reflects its intensity and character. On the nose, it reveals enticing aromas of dark cherry, plum, and hints of dried herbs, creating an inviting bouquet that beckons exploration. The palate is a delightful medley of rich fruit flavors complemented by well-integrated tannins, providing structure and depth to the wine. With a medium to full-bodied profile, it balances its robust character with a refreshing acidity that enhances the overall drinking experience. The wine is dry, allowing the natural fruit elements to shine through while delivering a smooth and satisfying finish. Perfectly suited for enjoying with hearty dishes or simply on its own, Vigna Delle Monache is a true gem that embodies the essence of its southern Italian roots.

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.
