Negra
Italy
A smoky, local varietal favored by Italian wine drinkers
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Negra
Negroamaro
A well-kept local secret, the tiny Salento peninsula, the ‘heel’ of the Italian ‘boot’, produces some of the most distinctive full bodied wines in all Italy. While a number of grape varietals are grown in the region, it is the indigenous Negroamaro that ensures Salento’s enduring fame.

The Bosco Negra Negroamaro 2015 showcases this unique varietal, and displays the region’s expertise for Old World winemaking.

WINE REGION:
Italy
While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
