Deep garnet hue. Aromas of ripe blackberries and dark cherries, black plum aromas with hints of dried herbs, tobacco, and earthiness. Medium-bodied on the palate, with dark tart cherry, stewed fruit, baking spice, and a touch of balsamic, with polished tannins and a long, savory finish.

One of the key grapes of the ever-growing Puglia wine industry is the Negroamaro, a native grape of this southern Italian region, famed for its deep, bloody red color and excellent set of flavors Indeed, many of the finest and most highly esteemed full bodied red wines of Puglia are made using the Negroamaro varietal grape, and it is grown most notably in the Salento area of the region, where it makes several types of red wine enjoyed locally and sold overseas. 

Try a Negroamaro or blend with barbecue chicken pizza, pulled pork sandwiches or teriyaki. Caramelized foods seen to bring out the sweetness in this wine. It goes particularly well with typical Apulian dishes such as lamb roulades, meatballs with sauce, and pasta with legume soup. You can also pair it with game, sausage ragout, pork and aged cheeses.
