The Negroamaro I.G.T. Puglia is a structured and intense red wine, obtained from Negroamaro grapes (minimum 85%).
On the nose, it is fine and elegant, with initial notes of blackberry jam evolving into toasted and spicy hints, with coffee and cinnamon.
On the palate, the entry is pleasant, warm, and enveloping. Tannic notes emerge, followed by good persistence and a dry finish.
It pairs perfectly with rich first courses, red meats, game, and aged cheeses.
