I Muri Negroamaro

Negroamaro with a kick

The grape in this wine is the Negroamaro and in Italian and consists of two words: negro means “dark color” and amaro means “bitter. And that is a particularly good description for this wine! In your glass you see a very intense dark, almost black color. This already gives the impression that this is a solid glass of wine. In the aroma of this I Muri Negroamaro there are impressions of candied, almost cooked dark fruit with a clear hint of amarene cherry and black currant. The mouthfeel is wonderfully creamy with relatively low acidity. However, the wine has few tannins, making it a smooth drinking wine. In the long finish you meet a distinct little earthy bitterness and that gives the wine just the kick it needs!
