Deep ruby red with violet tinges; pronounced aromas of ripe red fruit, currant jam and raspberries with hints of plum and black pepper; full-bodied, well balanced and fresh. Medium long finish, with a fruity and spicy aftertaste.

The dark wines produced by Negroamaro grapes could explain its name, which derives from "niger" and "maru" (both meaning "black" in Latin and Greek, respectively). The grapes of this native variety of Salento have a high concentration of tannins, producing a full-body wine, pronounced rich in extracts but still elegant and harmonious.

The manual harvest is carried out in the early hours of dawn, when the ambient temperature is more moderate, preserving freshness and aroma.

The grapes are destemmed and fermented at a controlled temperature of 22-24 °C for 8-10days; fermentation with selected yeasts and malolactic fermentation.

Aged for 5 months in stainless steel tanks and 1 month in bottle.

Goes great with seasoned pasta dishes, roast meat and mushroom dishes; cured meats and medium - aged cheeses; risotto with vegetables, pizza.
