Negroamaro, meaning Black and bitter in Italian, is widely planted in Italy’s deep south, especially on the heel of Italy in Puglia where it can make seductively heady, age-worthy reds such as Salice Salentino.

Purple colour with dark violet reflections. Intense and persistent aromas of blackcurrant, soft black fruit with hints of tilled earth, thyme and herbs. Deftly structured and full-bodied with a pleasant freshness, smooth tannin, low acid, and a long-lasting finish.
