Description

The Negroamaro Salento IGP 12 e mezzo in Magnum format from the Varvaglione winery is a refined and generous expression of the native Apulian Negroamaro grape variety. This red wine stands out for its structure and complexity, supported by expert aging that amplifies its organoleptic qualities.

At sight, the wine has an intense and deep ruby red color, which heralds rich and changing olfactory sensations. On the nose, notes of ripe red fruits emerge, such as cherries and plums, accompanied by spicy nuances of black pepper, licorice and light toasted hints, which derive from the aging in wood.

On the palate, Negroamaro 12 e mezzo offers a velvety and enveloping texture, with soft and well-integrated tannins that give a pleasant structure. The balanced freshness with moderate acidity accompanies a long and pleasant tasting persistence, characterized by returns of fruit and spices.

This wine lends itself beautifully to pairings with traditional Apulian dishes, such as grilled red meats, roasts and mature cheeses. The Magnum format further enhances the longevity and evolution of this label, making it an excellent option for special occasions and important dinners.

The work of the Varvaglione winery is well recognized for its attention to the quality and valorization of local vines, and the Negroamaro 12 e mezzo is a clear example of this dedication.
