More questions
Masseria Maìme presents a Negroamaro from the Salento area, offered in magnum format by the Tormaresca estate. The colour is an intense ruby with slight violaceous reflections; on the nose there are impressions of ripe red fruit, cherry and plum, accompanied by Mediterranean hints and delicate spice notes. The olfactory profile remains measured and recognisable, without exaggeration, highlighting the varietal character of Negroamaro.
On the palate it shows balanced structure, with tannins that are present yet rounded and a good gustatory progression; freshness supports the fruity impressions on the finish. The magnum format enhances sharing and suits convivial meals: it pairs well with flavourful meat dishes, roasts and cured meats, and can also support aged cheeses. Recommended serving temperature around 16–18 °C. For storage, keep in a cool, stable place; the wine is intended to be enjoyed within a few years according to personal preference.
