The Negroamaro Puglia IGP "Orfeo" from the Paolo Leo winery is a wine that splendidly represents the winemaking tradition of Puglia, offering a unique olfactory and gustatory experience. Presented in an imposing Jeroboam format, equivalent to three liters of wine, and elegantly boxed, this wine is ideal for special occasions or as a prestigious gift.
The selection of Negroamaro grapes, an indigenous variety from Salento, gives this wine an intense, almost impenetrable red color. On the nose, "Orfeo" opens with vibrant aromas of ripe wild berries, spicy notes of licorice, and a delicate touch of vanilla, the result of careful maturation in wood.
On the palate, the wine is robust and well-structured, with a pleasant aromatic complexity that reflects the olfactory sensations, enriched by a slight hint of soft tannins that contribute to a long and persistent finish. The balance between acidity and body is excellent, making Negroamaro "Orfeo" a wine of great character, yet accessible.
Ideal food pairings include robust dishes such as roasts, stews, and aged cheeses. This wine also pairs beautifully with typical southern Italian dishes, such as orecchiette with meat ragù or lamb-based dishes.
The Negroamaro Puglia IGP "Orfeo" from Paolo Leo is more than a wine; it is a sensory experience that best celebrates the virtues of the Pugliese terroir. With its generous format and impeccable presentation, it is destined to be the undisputed protagonist of any fine wine collection.
