A bright crimson beauty in the glass and even more impressive on the nose.

It has a ‘pinot-esque’ quality; spiced cherry, raspberry, orange rind and white pepper. The medium bodied palate has lively, fresh acid, with blood orange, wild strawberry and amaro flavours, and features incredible depth for a lighter weight wine.

Negroamaro is full of rustic character and savoury complexity, with fine, long, chalky tannins.

A late afternoon grazing platter, generously laden with duck rillettes, crisp baguette slices, citrus marmalade and blanched green beans with a drizzle of truffle oil.
