Nerone Negroamaro Primitivo

We were amazed by the quality of this Italian red, because surely that's unthinkable at this price? Well, it's not a fairy tale or a tall tale, because this red Nerone wine is a true fusion of Italian temperament. It all begins in the old vineyards in the heart of Puglia, where the Negroamaro and Primitivo grapes are planted. The rich soil structure features many different layers, allowing the vines to easily absorb moisture. This is necessary, as the long summers can get very hot there. But fortunately, the wind from the sea blows through the vineyards, helping to cool the bunches, resulting in a long and balanced growing season.

The harvest of the Negroamaro and Primitivo grapes

Once the grapes have reached full ripeness, they are transported to Nerone in the early morning. Harvesting begins early to preserve the freshness of the grapes and prevent oxidation during transport. The Nerone vineyards are situated on level ground, facing the sun. To ensure robustness in the wine, the grapes also receive sufficient cooling from the sea breeze, which is crucial in Puglia.

Full and very powerful this Nerone Negroamaro Primitivo

These two grapes complement each other perfectly, giving this red wine its own distinct character. The Negroamaro, for example, offers softness and fruitiness, while the Primitivo provides strength and finesse. The bottle itself is a beauty, but once you uncork it, the joy is unparalleled! Soft, round, and exquisitely refined are the key words for this red Nerone wine. The aroma reveals hints of plums, black cherries, vanilla, and a hint of raisins. The palate is soft with plenty of black fruit and a lovely, light spice. On the back of the tongue, nuances of vanilla, plums, and chocolate. What a truly magnificent glass of Puglian wine.
