Looks like a strawberry Jolly Rancher. Smells like McIntosh apple skins and the white mesocarp of watermelon had a freakish baby. Tastes like those things with a rhubarb twang. Dry but with a nice fruit/acid harmony and firm, mouthwatering tannins. More, please. #rosato #pinkitalian #negroamaro #salento — 8 years ago

Very ripe and with plush oxidizing fruit. Incredible longevity in the glass. Not my style but I appreciate that it’s well made. #cosimotaurino #negroamaro #patriglione #salento #rosso #salento #puglia — 9 years ago

#negroamaro com gosto e cheiro de envelhecido. Bastante amadeirado e um pouco frutado. Por isso gosto tanto dessa uva. (: — 10 years ago

Rich, meaty-earthy nose with spices, leather and a hint of mint. Dark fruit is the base but not prominent. #velvety mouthfeel with sophisticated tannins on a long finish. Give it an hour to open up. A great wine that would pair well with a Bolognese red sauce or a steak. #negroamaro is worth further attention. — 11 years ago

Слива, черешня, не агрессивно, достаточно тонко, спокойно, чуть пряно. Алкогольно во вкусе, не очень тельно, молодо, обжигающе, чуть зеленовато, кора. — 11 years ago

I'm a lover of all things Graziano, and his four labels. Wine club member for full disclosure. His Monte Volpe Negroamaro doesn't disappoint. Nose has a lot of that spice/red clay that mendocino usually puts out. Unfortunately there's a decent dose of mercaptan going on. Great, great lively, juicy fruit on the palate. His wines are usually very low pH (I've seen some reds by him in the 3.25/3.35 range) naturally so. Keeps everything in order, and clean. Good midpalate. A lighter style wine. Finish is the tiniest bit short, but the acid cleans it up. Very light, elegant tannin structure. Retails about 20 bucks. Shits on wines double or triple the price. #california #californiawines #mendocino #negroamaro #red #redwine #italian #graziano #montevolpe — 11 years ago

Medium garnet color. Medium+ intensity aromas of ripe red fruit (ripe strawberries, cherries and bramble) there are medicinal herbal aromas and flavors as well (anis, thyme and lemon balm) secondary aromas of after eight and cocoa powder. There are tertiary aromas and flavors of ripe dried fruit like prunes. Dry, medium- acidity, medium sweet luscious tannin and high alcohol medium body and medium+ finish. #puglia #negroamaro #italy — 5 years ago

Much more lively than the #patriglione but this faded faster. Drink up! #cosimotaurino #puglia #negroamaro #ctbucklinwine #notarpanaro #salento — 9 years ago

Mmm- tobacco and beef fat on a Friday night.

Like the last sip of espresso before a Neapolitan shoot out, this wine is all umami complexity: Tar, black pepper and fig combine in rich, mature flavors of dried red fruit that leave your mouth feeling cool and refreshed. Pour it with grilled pork.

90 The Wine Advocate
The 2006 Negroamaro Maime is more powerful and burly than the 2007. Cured meats, smoke, licorice, earthiness and wild cherries are some of the notes that emerge from this distinctive red. Elements of rusticity run through the wine. The bold, extroverted personality may not be for everyone, but there is no shortage of personality and sheer character here. Firm tannins build on the virile finish. — 10 years ago

Delicious #puglia #negroamaro blend - deep placid aroma well of blackberry fruit and compote, succulent acidity up front on the palate melting into cocoa, mild coffee and sweet tobacco finish wrapped with soft tannins. I drank this in honor of 🇮🇹! — 6 years ago

A big style, built for rustic fare! Raspberry reduction, cinnamon, vanilla, anise, cedar and blackberries. Medium heavy mouthfeel exhibiting firm tannins and relatively dry. Mocha-raspberry, vanilla tobacco, lingonberry, and a light, dry mint on a dark and rich offering!

#negroamaro bem clássico, com cheiro e gosto puxado no mel. Um pouco mais encorpado e alcoólico. Vale demais. — 9 years ago

Good. Very fruity but good fruits - dark fruits, plums, blackberries, jammy. It smelled earthy but definitely tasted fruitier. A little spice in there, mild tannins. A good sipper. #primitivo #negroamaro #italy #dogsofdelectable — 11 years ago

Very velvety, fruity, spicy, peppery. Took a few minutes to open up but then I got licorice, very ripe fruit, pie spices and a cherry finish. Good acidity. Lots of fruit and pie. #italy #italianwine #negroamaro #dogsofdelectable #puglia — 11 years ago
