Masseria Maìme Negroamaro Salento IGT Imperial from Tormaresca is a red with immediate personality, representative of Negroamaro. Deep ruby in color, on the nose it offers ripe red fruits, cherry and plum, with balsamic hints, light herbaceous notes and discreet spice. The structure is soft and enveloping, with present but measured tannins and a freshness that balances the fruit; the palate is compact and the finish remains saline and pleasant without becoming aggressive.

It suits many pairings: grilled meats, pork roasts, cured meats, tomato-based dishes and medium-aged cheeses. Also ideal to accompany dishes from the Salento tradition or for an informal dinner with company. Serve at around 16–18 °C in large glasses to appreciate its aromas, softness and saline note. Recommended to consume within a few years to preserve the fruit's freshness; it keeps well in a cellar at constant temperature without requiring special treatment before serving.
