Negroamaro
Negroamaro – the name says it all: dark, robust, with a characteristic bitter note that blends elegantly with ripe aromas of dried fruits like dates and raisins. The wines are full-bodied and rich, yet surprisingly harmonious on the finish – a red wine that reveals depth without being heavy.
As an indigenous grape variety of southern Italy, Negroamaro is inextricably linked to Apulia, where it has thrived for centuries on poor soils under intense sunshine. At Vinoscout, you'll discover 18 wines of this fascinating variety – from accessible entry-level wines starting at €5.45 to ambitious bottles for special occasions up to €109.99.

Negroamaro – the dark character of Apulia
Negroamaro is one of Italy's most fascinating indigenous grape varieties. Its name reveals much: "negro" for dark and "amaro" for bitter – and indeed, this variety embodies both. The wines exhibit a deep, almost black-red color and a powerful, full-bodied character with dark fruit, spicy notes, and a distinctive, slightly bitter finish. Well-made examples develop impressive depth and structure, gaining even more elegance with further aging.
Home in Salento
Negroamaro is firmly rooted in Apulia , especially on the Salento peninsula in the southernmost part of Italy. There, it thrives on poor soils under intense sunshine, producing wines with a true sense of origin. Well-known appellations like Salice Salentino and the extensive Salento IGT represent this variety like few others. Interestingly, Negroamaro is also exceptionally well-suited for rosé wines, which can be fresh, aromatic, and surprisingly complex.
