Valle dell'Asso 2003 Piromáfo Negroamaro (Salento)
- $35
Thick oaky tones of spice, vanilla and toast emerge from the nose of this well-made Negroamaro and underscore the wine’s fruity essence. The wine has a slightly aged quality thanks to its polished tannins.

Valle dell'Asso 2006 Negroamaro (Galatina)

Ripe fruit tones and layers of spice (clove, cinnamon and black pepper) fold seamlessly together as one. The wine represents a hardy blend of Negroamaro and Montepulciano and offers the solid structure and firmness that you should expect from these two masculine indigenous grapes.

Valle dell'Asso 2003 Negroamaro (Galatina)
There’s a slightly aged quality to this Negroamaro (with 15% Montepulciano) evident both in its granite color and its aromas of resin tar and licorice. 2003 was a difficult vintage and this wine is close to being past its prime: Drink now.

This 70-30 blend of Negroamaro and Primitivo offers a firm and compact feel with less concentration of color and extracts in terms of its appearance. The nose, however, is bright and full with intense fruit flavors of cherry, raspberry and strawberry.
