About Negroamaro

The Negroamaro grapes, in recent decades, have been increasingly vinified in pureness, winning several awards in national and international competitions.

Puglia, and particularly the Salento peninsula, is the source of the finest Negroamaro wines (DOC).
"Negro" means black and "amaro" bitter, referring to long maceration.
Traditionally blended with Malvasia Nera,the choice of these two varieties is not casual.
Anciently, in fact, farmers preferred to organize vineyards, placing three lines of Negroamaro and one of Malvasia Nera grapes.
Exactly in this measure, wines can smooth the hardness of Negroamaro with the sweetness of Malvasia Nera.
The warm Mediterranean climate gives good ripeness, and the limited rainfall
contributes to the high sugar content.
Negroamaro is also considered one of the top Rosé in Italy.
Negroamaro is grown in the region of the Trulli where it competes with other
famous grape varieties like Primitivo.
