Cantina Fiorentino DOC Galatina Negroamaro Galatea
£15.95
Representing the terroir of Salento and the Galatina DOC, the Negroamaro grape produces some of the best red wines of Apulia, and here you’ll find a unique red wine that reflects the soul of Salento and the finesse of this local grape. Grown in sun-drenched vineyards near Galatina, this wine is produced with deep respect for the land, using sustainable practices and minimal intervention. On the nose, you’ll find intense aromas of ripe black cherries, plums and wild berries, followed by hints of Mediterranean herbs and subtle earthy spice. The palate is full and velvety, yet well-balanced, offering a rich tapestry of dark fruit flavours, with blackberry and mulberry to the fore. The finish is smooth and persistent, with soft tannins and a lingering trace of mineral salinity, a hallmark of its coastal terroir. A perfect pairing for grilled meats, aged cheeses or traditional Puglian dishes such as orecchiette with ragù or lamb with rosemary.
