Rich purple color with a nose full of blackberry and blueberry fruit and hints of black pepper. On the palete, the wine is full of life and expressive, displaying black fruits, black pepper with additional notes of dark chocolate and coffee with a long finish. It's structured, well balanced, this is an intense wine that could be drunk young, but, would will really start to show its stuff with a little bottle age.

This Negroamaro is a medium bodied wine that is dark red in color with ruby hues. Aromas of blackberries, black cherries and black pepper spice. Initially, I detected on the palette bitter notes of black cherries, blackberries, cloves, black pepper with tight tannins and with a rustic finish. After a few minutes of letting it breathe, the bitterness gradually disapated. Good!
