Luccarelli Negroamaro 2021 Puglia Knights Valley

Luccarelli Negroamaro 2021 Puglia Knights ValleyThis 100% Negroamaro came from vines averaging 15 30 years old. It was aged for 4 5 months in used American and French oak barrels. It has a deep, ruby red color with purple reflections. On the nose it has intense aromas of ripe blackberries and blackcurrants, framed by gentle notes of spice. It is medium bodied, with a good balance between freshness and soft, malleable tannins.

Ripe and even fresher aromas derive more from the red side of the fruit spectrum while displaying background hints of earth and spice
