| 75 | | | 90 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Two classic Italian grape types compose this medium-bodied, aromatic wine from Apulia (Puglia): Nero Amaro (70%) and Montepulciano (30%). A nearly opaque dark purple color leads to aromatic black fruits and spice, hinting of black plums and black pepper, with a gratifying, warm earthiness to boot. On the palate, the black fruits continue to dominate, adding suggestions of black cherry and other spices. Tannins are round and fruit-derived. The fruit-filled character of the wine is enhanced by serving it at cool temperatures. Well-integrated and -balanced, the wine is a good food companion but also pleases as an aperitif. This label carries the designation “Denominazione Origine Protetta.“ Suggest decanting 30 minutes or so before serving.
Suggested Food Pairings:
Pâté forestière; peppered bresaola; meat-and-tomato sauce lasagna; chicken cacciatore; hunter-style salami (cacciatore); cannelini bean stew or salad; Mediterranean chicken pie with tomato; grilled chicken with roasted red peppers; caponata; stromboli; lasagna with meat and tomato sauce; Parmigiano Reggiano.
