I Muri Negroamaro Puglia

Negroamaro from Salento — that is southern Italian warmth in its purest form: lots of fruit, spicy depth, no hint of restraint.

Vigneti del Salento produces this wine from the indigenous Negroamaro grape variety, which is native to the flat hinterland of Apulia. The red clay and limestone soils retain the Mediterranean heat and give the wine its characteristic density.

In the glass, the I Muri displays a deep ruby-violet color. The nose is dominated by dark blackberry and plum, underpinned by maquis herbs—thyme, oregano, and a hint of dried bay leaf. On the palate, it is soft and rounded, with moderate tannins and a subtle spiciness in the long finish.

Serving temperature 16–18 °C. Pairs well with grilled lamb chops, pasta with meat ragù, mature pecorino cheese, or hearty salami. Also convincing as an uncomplicated evening wine on its own.
