Apollonio 1870 La Valle Di Cupa 2017

The Salento region is identified by three climatic elements: the sun, the architect that creates generous degrees of sugar, the sea, responsible for the minerality of the wines, and the wind that makes this area naturally free of disease and particularly suitable for the production of “natural” wines. Negroamaro, native to Puglia, is the main black grape variety of Salento.

The bouquet is intense and enveloping, with notes of blackberry, ripe red fruit and spices. Full-bodied and soft, with velvety tannins. It has a fresh aroma and good acidity. A long finish in which the fruity notes already perceived by the nose return.

Pairing recommendations are game, grilled or stewed red meat, sweet and spicy hard cheeses.
