This delicious Negroamaro from the heel of Italy is very smartly-packaged, but that's just so that your eyes don’t feel left out while your other senses are having fun. In the glass, it pours a healthy shade of inky crimson and the aromas are pugnaciously Puglian. It's a wine that's already dancing before it hits the dancefloor, gliding across the palate with glossy ripe blackcurrants, black cherries and vanilla with that lovely fresh kola note that one finds in Negroamaro when the alcohol doesn't overwhelm it. Smooth as silk, medium- to full-bodied and absolutely delicious as well as a textbook expression of the grape variety. 14% alc. Drink now-2028.
