Description
This box contains two emblematic expressions of the wild land of Salento, where the summer heat and the cool sea breeze forge two iconic vines such as Primitivo and Negroamaro.
The Primitivo di Manduria by Notte Rossa is the result of 5-6 months of aging in French and American oak barriques. Its ruby red color with purple hues combines with its rich and enveloping scent of plum and black cherry, from which spicy hints of cocoa and vanilla emerge. On the palate it is warm and structured, with a very persistent finish. It is perfect with first courses and lamb, but also goes well with game and hard cheeses.
The Negroamaro from Terra d'Otranto is bottled after 6 months of aging in French oak barrels. Deep purple red in color, it offers a complex aroma of spices, wild berries and cherry jam to the nose. On the palate it is full-bodied, soft and harmonious, with well integrated tannins. Recommended with robust first courses and second courses of red meats, it is excellent with aged cheeses and game.
