70 Points – $19

Dark red in color with a nose of caramel and earth, almost dusty. A mouthful of burnt carmel and dust with a finish that coats your mouth with fur. A weird taste indeed.Negroamaro means black bitter and it is just that. Probably an acquired taste.

Light golden yellow color, with a nose of lemon, apple, pear and flowers(from the Muscat). A smooth mouth of apples and pears with a soft finish. Low in alcohol so it’s an easy drinking wine that would be good with salads or asian noodles. Serve chilled.
