F Negroamaro Salento

This robust, full-bodied red wine, made entirely from the local Negroamaro grape variety, is a remarkable example of sustainable winemaking in Puglia. Following gentle hand-harvesting in small crates, the grapes undergo extended maceration. Eighty percent of the harvest macerates for 18 days, while the remaining 20 percent macerates with wild yeasts for 25 days, both at controlled temperatures between 24-26°C. The must is then pressed and transferred to barriques, where malolactic fermentation takes place. The wine then matures for eight months in these new French and Caucasian oak barriques before bottling and further aging for six months before release. Color: Deep, dense purplish-red. Aroma: The nose offers the typical fruity and spicy aromas of southern Italian red wines. Notes of cherry jam and blackberry. Taste: On the palate, the "F" is very powerful and muscular. Present yet soft tannins harmonize with finely integrated acidity. The spicy aromas and fruity components are fully expressed.

Frequently asked questions

How does the F Negroamaro taste – is it rather soft or tannin-driven?

Powerful and dense, but not edgy: the tannins are present yet soft, and the acidity is finely integrated. In the foreground are cherry jam and blackberry, along with spicy notes typical of Negroamaro from Salento.

What does the F Negroamaro pair best with?

It handles hearty dishes without any problems: lamb shank, braised beef cheeks, grilled steak, or game. It also pairs well with aged Pecorino or Caciocavallo.

At what temperature should I serve it?

Best at 16–18 °C. At higher temperatures, the alcohol (13.5% vol) quickly becomes dominant — it's better to chill it briefly if the bottle is warmer than 18 °C.

How long was the wine aged in wooden barrels?

8 months in new barriques made of French and Caucasian oak, followed by another 6 months of bottle aging before sale. Hence the round, well-integrated structure despite its powerful character.

How do I best store an opened bottle?

Stored well-sealed and cool, an opened bottle will last for two to three days. A vacuum stopper noticeably extends this — it's worth it for this wine because it continues to open up in the glass.

The Winery

Feudi di San Marzano

What nineteen winegrower families from San Marzano di San Giuseppe sealed with a handshake in 1962 is today one of the most famous names in Apulia: Feudi di San Marzano.

Around 1,500 winemakers jointly cultivate more than 1,200 hectares of vines in the heart of the Primitivo di Manduria DOP, many of them still in the old Alberello system – the bush-trained vines that have given Salento its face for generations.

The red limestone soil, the sun, and the sea breeze between the Adriatic and the Ionian Sea shape wines that are powerful yet precise. Every grape is harvested by hand; chemical fertilizers are left out.
