Description

Imagine yourself transported to the sun-drenched vineyards of Puglia, Italy, where the Contessa Carola Negroamaro is born. This wine is a testament to the rich winemaking heritage of the region, a legacy that Contessa Carola has passionately upheld since 1891. Negroamaro, meaning 'black bitter,' perfectly encapsulates the grape's dark color and subtly bitter notes that add complexity to the wine.

Upon pouring, the Contessa Carola Negroamaro reveals a deep ruby hue, hinting at the intense flavors to come. The aroma is a captivating blend of dark fruit like black cherry and plum, intertwined with earthy notes and a whisper of spice. A sip unveils a dry, full-bodied wine with a smooth texture and well-integrated tannins. The flavors echo the aromas, offering a delightful balance of fruit, earth, and spice, culminating in a lingering, satisfying finish.

This is more than just a wine; it's an experience, a taste of Puglia in every glass. The Contessa Carola Negroamaro is a versatile companion to a wide range of dishes, making it a perfect choice for both casual gatherings and special occasions. Its robust character pairs beautifully with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and hearty pasta dishes. Try it with a classic Pugliese orecchiette pasta with broccoli rabe and sausage, or a juicy lamb kebab with a side of roasted eggplant. For cheese lovers, this wine complements aged Pecorino or earthy Gorgonzola.

But why Contessa Carola? Because you're not just buying a bottle of wine; you're investing in a tradition, a commitment to quality, and a passion for the art of winemaking. The winery's dedication to sustainable practices ensures that each vintage is not only delicious but also respectful of the land that nurtures the grapes. Choose Contessa Carola Negroamaro, and let your palate be transported to the heart of Puglia, where sunshine, tradition, and passion come together to create an unforgettable wine experience.
