What a gem, this full-bodied Negroamaro from the Luccarelli winery. The grapes are grown in the Salento region, a region with abundant sunshine. We immediately taste that in this Luccarelli Negroamaro. Thanks in part to the cool breeze from the Adriatic Sea, this Negroamaro still has plenty of bite! The vineyard is between 15 and 30 years old, resulting in a wide variety in the harvest. After harvest, the entire wine is aged in oak for 4 to 5 months, making it full-bodied and creamy. This oak aging gives the wine the necessary bite—incredible.
The aroma reveals hints of spice, coffee, caramel, and hints of blackcurrant, plum, and white pepper. The taste of this Luccarelli Negroamaro is full-bodied yet very ripe. It has a lovely fruity bouquet of cherry and berry, along with hints of vanilla, wood, and spice. The finish reveals toffee and caramel.
