Description

Negroamaro, meaning Black and bitter in Italian, is widely planted in Italy's deep south, especially on the heel of Italy in Puglia where it can make seductively heady, age-worthy reds such as Salice Salentino.

Purple colour with dark violet reflections. Intense and persistent aromas of blackcurrant, soft black fruit with hints of tilled earth, thyme and herbs. Deftly structured and full-bodied with a pleasant freshness, smooth tannin, low acid, and a long-lasting finish.

Pietra Pura

The PietraPura line is born from the collaboration between the Tuscan company Rocca delle Macìe and renowned Apulian companies, united in the common intent to enhance the indigenous grape varieties of Salento and create wines that best express the territory.

Puglia

Puglia, located in the southeastern part of Italy, is a prominent wine region known for its rich history and vibrant wine culture. Often referred to as the "heel" of Italy's boot, it has been producing wine for thousands of years, with viticulture deeply rooted in its ancient Greek and Roman heritage.

Puglia's warm Mediterranean climate, with abundant sunshine and cooling sea breezes, creates ideal conditions for growing robust and flavorful grapes. The area is particularly renowned for its red wines, with Primitivo and Negroamaro being the standout varieties. Primitivo, closely related to California's Zinfandel, produces bold, fruit-forward wines with high alcohol content, while Negroamaro is known for its deep color and complex flavors, often with hints of dark fruit and spices.

Puglia also produces notable rosé wines, particularly from the Salento area, and a range of full-bodied white wines, making it one of Italy's most diverse and dynamic wine regions.
