Blend of Negroamaro (90%) and Malvasia Nera (10%). Bright ruby color with a distinct brick rim. Aromas of black fruits, roasted meat and purple flowers. Flavors of black cherry, ripe plums and baking spices. Long, earthy and powerful finish. Bone dry, rustic and full bodied. Thanks for opening, Chris B. Revisited in October 2014. Still bright and fresh. Aging beautifully. — 6 months ago

BN, short Italian cork, surprisingly dense cork likely responsible keeping the wine fresh all these years.
Youthful color. Savory dried fruits, the Flavors of xmas spices. Very pleasing. A nice revelation to this palate. — 10 years ago

The 2018 Primitivo Settimo Ceppo displays black cherries, dusty roses and cloves on the nose. The palate is soft and round. Juicy acidity enlivens its red and blue fruits as sour citrus adds contrast. It finishes potent, long and fresh. The Settimo Ceppo is impressive. $20.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, September 2023) — a year ago

Smells of fresh red berries, florals and minerals underneath, then on the palate, linens and sour fruits come in—apparently, grapefruit is a standard tasting note on Negroamaro—who knew? My appreciation of the grape only grows. — a year ago

We have arrived in Puglia...

I haven't had much negroamaro experience. This is a blend with cab. Interesting that a 2011 can be this jammy. Worked ok.
