PODERE DON CATALDO Negroamaro Salento 2019

$22.00

Negroamaro is one of many fascinating grapes unique to the deep south of Italy. And it’s far more appetizing than its name – meaning ‘the black bitter one’ – would suggest.

Negroamaro gives deeply coloured, richly flavoured wines, full of character. The finest examples have a dark, bitter chocolate quality (hence the name), but with abundant plum, prune and savoury complexity to balance. Some of the best come from Salice Salentino and Squinzano, down in the ‘heel’ of Italy’s boot.

Description

This wine has a deep red color with purple hues. It releases a fragrant scent of ripe red fruits with notes of vanilla, toasted tobacco and hints of spice. Harmonic and silky to the palate, it reveals a charming aromatic complexity enhanced by velvety tannins and a typical aftertaste of Mediterranean herbs.

Food pairing: it pairs well with rare red meat and bbq. Ideal with first courses rich in sauces and aged cheeses, even spicy ones.
Service Temperature: 18°C
