Deep red color, with a great nose of plum, dark fruit, leather and tar. Plush mouthful of plum and jammy fruits. Fine smooth finish with mouth coating fur. A great aged wine from the cellar.
I also enjoyed a full bodied Joya De Nicaragua cigar while drinking this great wine. A perfect pair!!!

Medium in color and body, this wine has a tannic smell with notes of oak and currants. Acidic in taste with fruit and mocha overtones. Plush furry finish. Needs to mellow with decanting.

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.
