Description
Vinicola Cicella’s Negroamaro is made from 100% Negroamaro grapes, an ancient variety native to Puglia, very well suited to lively, pleasant rosés but equally perfect for young red wines, as in the case of this label: warm and enveloping in spirit, full-bodied and balanced in taste, to be enjoyed on informal occasions with friends and a good meat dish. The nose is intense and distinctly varietal, with prominent notes of red fruit and Mediterranean spices.
The grapes grow on plots with north-south facing rows and soils made up mostly of sand, with some silt and clay. The cool breezes from the nearby sea and the dry, arid climate of Puglia create a healthy, ideal environment for a variety such as Negroamaro, which is very susceptible to mould, thus avoiding many of the vineyard treatments that are needed in damper, rainier regions. The bunches reach full ripeness during the second or third week of September, when they are hand-picked and taken to the nearby winery to be destemmed. The must ferments on the skins in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Ageing lasts 12 months, again in stainless steel tanks, thus preserving the varietal aromas. Deep in colour, purple red with blackish-violet highlights, on the palate it is complex and harmonious, with velvety tannins and a remarkably long, savoury finish. On the nose, the aroma of blackcurrant and berries is captivating, enriched by spicy nuances and hints of thyme. Perfect throughout the meal, it pairs well with white meat dishes, roasts, game and cheeses.
