Description

Introducing the captivating Tombacco Azzurra Rosso, a wine that embodies the soul of Puglia. Crafted by Rinomata Cantina Tombacco, a family-owned winery with roots stretching back to 1919, this wine is a true representation of the region's rich winemaking heritage. The winery has grown from a small scale operation into a quality focused producer of authentic wines with respect to the tradition. The name of the winery means "well-known" winery. This Azzurra Rosso, a name meaning "azure" alludes to the vibrant blue of the Pugliese sea, and is a wonderful expression of the region's character and beauty.

This blend is a harmonious marriage of Negroamaro and Primitivo grapes, each contributing its unique characteristics. Negroamaro provides depth and structure, while Primitivo lends a lush, fruit-forward dimension. The result is a dry, full-bodied wine that offers a symphony of flavors. On the palate, expect a delightful interplay of ripe dark berries, hints of spice, and an underlying earthiness, all supported by well-integrated tannins. With an alcohol content of 13%, it is an ideal accompaniment to a range of dishes. The serving temperature should be at 18 °C, in order to give this wine its best expression.

This wine is great with rich pasta dishes, grilled meats, and aged cheeses. Its complex flavors and robust structure make it a versatile partner for a range of Italian-inspired meals. Imagine pairing this red with a hearty plate of orecchiette with ragu, or enjoying it alongside a grilled steak seasoned with herbs.

This is not just a wine; it is an experience that will transport you to the heart of Puglia with every sip. Its vibrant character, combined with the family's dedication to tradition, ensures a wine of exceptional quality and taste. The value offered for its price makes it an incredible buy. Savor the spirit of Italy with the Tombacco Azzurra Rosso, a gem from the land of sun and sea, and make every meal an occasion with it.
