Riserva Copertino Negroamaro

Clear deep Ruby color and full bodied with medium acid. Lots of barnyard funk together with leather and tobacco notes on the nose. Barnyard funk, dark cherry and tobacco notes on the palate leading to a smooth velvety mildly tannic finish. Delicious, distinctive and interesting wine. My first Copertino so don't know if this bottle is typical of the style, but I like it!

95% negroamaro & 5% malvasia nera actually. Punches way above its price class (10&change on sale), gorgeous red fruits but all tempered by an old school tobacco/earth frame which, come to think, is what I like in any wine. A little funk too. Analogous to D’Oupia’s Minervois from Langedoc in simplicity, value & outrageous delish factor.

Wow. Back at the barn milking cows. Strong pungent smell and taste. But like it!! Balanced it with an earthy chocolate fruit kinda cake. I think there are some dark tangy fruits simmering through. It's an experience!!

Lots of funk! Notes of ripe cherries, Italian seasoning, fig, and blue cheese. An interesting wine to try!

Simple, slightly sweet, distinct red fruit leather aromas I associate with malvasia nera. Yummy.

What an odd wine...smelled and tasted strongly of barnyard, although once you get past that it's quite enjoyable. Like riding a horse...stinky and leathery, but exhilarating. Very fruity and wild.

Sweet plummy nose with a bit of funk and light Brett. Leather, candied red/purple fruit, good acidity to balance a subtle sense of sweet/hot. Great old Negroamaro for $15

Nice spectrum of flavors. Dry.

Heavily over-oaked ... smell is overpowered by the oak and the taste is of burnt oak and tar. Would not buy this again.

Floral earth perfume on the nose. Less exciting in the glass...little mushroom and dry flowers. Steal of a deal for the price, though.
