Indulge in the rich tapestry of flavors offered by the Salento Negroamaro, a testament to the winemaking prowess of the Puglia region. Crafted with passion and tradition by Cantina Due Palme, this wine is an invitation to experience the sun-drenched vineyards and the soulful character of Southern Italy.
The Negroamaro grape, the heart and soul of this wine, thrives in the warm Mediterranean climate, imbuing the Salento Negroamaro with its distinctive personality. The wine greets you with an intense ruby-red color, hinting at the symphony of aromas and tastes to come. On the nose, you'll discover a captivating bouquet of ripe dark fruits, such as black cherry and plum, intertwined with subtle notes of spice and a touch of earthy undertones, reminiscent of the region's fertile soil.
The first sip is a revelation – a harmonious blend of fruit-forward flavors and a well-structured body. The tannins are smooth and well-integrated, providing a pleasant velvety texture on the palate. The wine's vibrant acidity balances the richness of the fruit, leading to a long and satisfying finish that leaves you longing for another glass.
The Salento Negroamaro is a versatile companion to a wide range of dishes. Its robust flavors make it an ideal match for hearty meat dishes, such as ragu di carne, grilled steak and roasted lamb. It also pairs beautifully with aged cheeses and savory pasta dishes, enhancing their flavors with its complex character. Imagine it alongside a plate of orecchiette with sausage and broccoli rabe, a classic Pugliese pairing.
Serve this wine at a temperature between 16-18°C (61-64°F) to fully appreciate its aromatic complexity and flavor profile. Allow the wine to breathe for a few minutes after opening to unlock its full potential. Whether you're hosting a casual gathering or celebrating a special occasion, the Salento Negroamaro is sure to impress your guests with its authentic character and approachable style. It is a wine that invites conversation, encourages shared moments, and celebrates the joy of good food and great company. Transport yourself to the heart of Puglia with every sip and experience the true essence of Southern Italian winemaking. The 2016 vintage shows the experience in creating a wine that will be remembered. It's not just a wine; it's a memory waiting to be uncorked.
