  Slightly tangy, in a very good way - provides juiceyness. Beautiful fruit. I agree with another review: it's not complex, but I enjoyed everything else about it very much.

  This famous Puglian wine was recommended to us by the restaurant manager at Le Carrube Ristorante Vegetariano near Ostuni. It paired perfectly with the seven-course degustazione of the evening. Big and bold yet medium bodied, the regional flavours of the wine matched the local tastes of each unique dish. The simplicity of the deep ruby wine was perhaps its secret to not overpowering the meal. It was truly perfetto!

  Absolute bruiser of a wine. Opaque, full of Blueberry, blackcurrant jam and a little vanilla. Not subtle or complex, but lovely on a chilly autumn evening.

  Apulien/Masseria (100%Negroamaro). Mein erster (bewusster) reinsortiger Spitzen-Negroamaro. Gilt als der beste NegroAm Apuliens. Teilweise auf Strohmatten („grattici“) getrocknete Reben, ein apulischer Amarone.
  Gleichwohl unerwartet: ein richtiger Klassiker! Nichts Robustes, nichts Exotisches. Schmeckt erstmal wie eine sehr gute BordeuauxCuvé: prägnante Cassisfrucht, feine Säure, recht weiche, gut eingebundene Tannine, schön balanciert, eine leichte Gewürzspur hinten raus…. Viel mehr ist eigentlich gar nicht zu sagen. Verblüffend. Richtig gut. Macht Spaß. Hervorragender, sehr angenehmer Essensbegleiter. Wäre ein toller Pirat in einem Bordeaux-Flight. Ist reif, hält aber sicher noch weitere 5-10 J auf diesem Niveau (vielleicht auch noch länger, habe noch keine Erfahrung mit älteren Negroamaros).
