2011 Cosimo Taurino Salice Salentino Rosso

TastingNotesVery dark, rich wine with a port like quality. "Black and bitter" in Italian, not surprisingly Negroamaro has origins in the Southern Italy's Puglia region and is an important grape both on its own and as a blending grape. It contributes a rich, slightly rustic mouth feel to a finished wine imbued with a slightly burnt, earthy quality that accentuates deep, roasted plum and mocha toned fruit with notes of spices.
