Winemaking process:
The grapes are picked and sorted by hand at Masseria Li Veli in Salento, then destemmed and fermented in steel tanks at 22–28°C. After malolactic fermentation the wine spends a few months in barriques. Negroamaro's name is often traced to the Latin 'niger' and Greek 'mavro', both meaning black, after its very dark skins.
Vinoteka's note
Negroamaro from Salento, its name fusing Latin niger and Greek amauros, both meaning “black”, for the two cultures that met here. Ruby red with a purple rim; raspberry jam and blackcurrant with an unexpected almond note and mineral hints; balanced, very drinkable, with bitter herbs on the finish. The producer serves it slightly cool, at 12–14 °C, with simple, flavourful dishes.
“Crushed stones, mentholated herbs and dusty earth tones.”Eric Guido, Vinous · 89 / 100 · 2023
