Negroamaro

Negroamaro is a bold and richly flavoured red grape variety originating from southern Italy, particularly Puglia, where it is valued for its deep colour, ripe fruit profile, and subtle earthy undertones. In Australia, Negroamaro is gaining popularity in warmer wine regions, where it thrives in dry conditions and produces wines with intense flavours of dark cherry, plum, spice, and hints of tobacco.

Typically medium to full-bodied with balanced acidity and firm tannins, Australian Negroamaro offers a robust yet approachable drinking experience. Its versatility makes it well-suited for both single varietal wines and blends, providing depth and complexity. With its ability to retain freshness in warm climates, Negroamaro is becoming an exciting addition to Australia’s growing selection of Mediterranean-style wines.
