In another era, Negroamaro was grown solely to ship to the north of Italy where the colder climate made it challenging to obtain the desired color and alcohol levels in the wines they produced. But in recent decades, more and more Salento wineries have looked to the variety as one of the most noble expressions of Pugliese viticulture.
Thanks to its vibrant acidity and its wonderful balance of fruit and earth flavors, the popularity of Negramaro only continues to grow — among winemakers and wine lovers alike.
Profile:
Streaks of garnet giving way to intense ruby red
Candied fruits and spices that evolve into clean underbrush, tea, and amber notes
Enhanced by notes of red flowers, the aromas return on the palate transported by confident but not overbearing alcohol. The tannins and fresh acidity work in counterpoint to create a balanced, soft wine
Food Pairing: Serve it with pasta and meat sauce, red meats including lamb. Ideal partner for medium to well-seasoned cheese
What’s In It: 100% Negroamaro
