Negramaro I.G.T.
Lively in color and simple to the taste this wine is well-balanced between softness and alcohol along with acidity and dryness. The little blackberries open this bouquet and with each mouthful the balance provides a pleasing tartness, and not a bitter ending. Recommended for all meals, this wine is best served with white meats.
