Negroamaro, meaning \u201cblack and bitter,\u201d is Puglia\u2019s iconic red grape, cultivated using UNESCO-listed alberello training. <\/p>\n

Characteristics<\/h2>\n

Inky ruby-red color. Aromas of dried plum, sour cherry, roasted coffee, licorice, and Mediterranean herbs. Warm and generous palate with robust tannins and a salty, almost marine finish.<\/p>\n

Pairings<\/h2>\n

Perfect with Puglian classics: orecchiette with turnip greens, braised meats, or spicy Canestrato cheese.<\/p>\n

Curiosities<\/h2>\n

Some vines exceed 100 years old; key to DOCs like Salice Salentino.<\/p>\n
