Rosso Salento Negroamaro
Salento, Puglia, Italy
Quite a powerful nose full of dried prunes, iodine and sea breeze. On the palate powerful, with salty, spicy acidity, loads of umami and again prunes and soy sauce. 15,5% alc nicely blended it. A powerful wine for strong cuisine (imagine full of soya sauce). Non standard, intriguing / controversial. But really good.
edit: after 2h the tannic-acidic combo becomes a bit too aggressive and the wine loses its balance.

Lovely and velvety. Round chocolate and liquorice mouthful. Little too high alcohol perception. Delicious wine.
