2020 Far + Wide Negroamaro

Description

Far + Wide explores varietals from the far reaches of the globe, like Negroamaro, one of Italy’s many indigenous grapes. Grown mainly in Puglia (the heel of Italy’s “boot”), this is a variety that makes an impression. Translating to “black bitter,” Negroamaro lives up to its name with an inky hue and a distinctly dry, herbal finish. If you’ve ever had an Italian amaro as an after dinner drink, you’ll know that distinct sensation. But in this wine’s case, the bitterness is nicely balanced by abundant dark berry fruit. This is a wine that loves food, so pair it with anything that’s on the savory/salty/sweet side of the flavor spectrum – BBQ pulled pork, pizza with caramelized onions, or honey mustard-glazed grilled chicken.
