Angiuli Negroamaro
Negroamaro is an autochthonous Puglian grape variety whose name comes from the dialectal expression “niuru maru”, which means “very black”. “Niuru” comes from Latin (niger) and “maru” from Greek (mavros). In fact, both the colour of the grapes and that of the wine are deep black. The grapes for this wine are hand-picked and selected. Fermentation takes place with local yeasts in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature. The result is a soft and versatile wine with typical fruity notes.
