Besides Primitivo, Negroamaro is the other famous red grape variety from Puglia. Equally majestic, with intense flavours & a complex body but with more elegance & finesse.
Notes of blackberry, cherry and ripe red fruit, followed by a lovely spiciness, with prominent coffee, chocolate and liquorice.
Savoury and rounded, well-balanced and very pleasurable. It stands out for its intensity and persistence.

Description
Masseria Altemura lies in the heart of the Salento Peninsula, almost equidistant from Puglia’s two seas: the Ionian (20 km) and the Adriatic (16 km), in the famous wine area of Primitivo di Manduria. A unique location where the breezes of two seas meet and contribute to the creation of an extraordinary microclimate. Today the estate extends for 270 ha and encompasses the ancient masseria, the winery, the vineyards and the olive trees in one single unit."If you’re a fan of the sort of reds you can only get from ancient, sun kissed vineyards, then chances are you’ll love Altemura Negroamaro. The nose opens with a broad and intense aroma of blackberries, cherries and ripe red fruit, well supported by a sweet spice of chocolate and licorice. Round and balanced on the palette with a good body and freshness. Another classic BBQ wine from the beautiful south of Italy."
