Wines made from Negroamaro grapes of Valle d'Itria
Discover the best wines made with Negroamaro as a single variety or as a blend of Valle d'Itria.
Powerful, structured reds with an almost black inky hue, firm tannins and a solar dense palate, with intense aromas of ripe black fruits (blackberry, plum), tobacco, leather, Mediterranean herbs, spices, liquorice and balsamic notes with a signature bitter finish. Also made as structured rosés. Star of Salice Salentino DOC, Brindisi DOC and Squinzano DOC in Salento. Native Italian variety from Puglia; its name evokes its black colour and bitterness.
Apulian region in the heart of the Salento plateau (around Locorotondo, Cisternino, Martina Franca), karstic calcareous soils, Mediterranean climate ventilated by Adriatic and Ionian breezes. Verdeca is the signature indigenous white: dry and crunchy with citrus, green apple, Mediterranean herbs, white flowers and mineral notes, lively acidity and a slightly bitter finish. Bianco d'Alessano, Fiano, Bombino and Malvasia as whites. Sun-ripened Primitivo as red.
