Appassimento Puglia Negroamaro

Dark ruby. Shy inviting nose and full-bodied palate of black cranberry and blackberry with a bit of patent leather mid palate to moderate finish. Medium minus acidity and medium minus tannins (that do show a bit more after some time) make this more a cigar or sipping wine than one built for meals. I spicy beef dish might work well, though. Drink now.

A big bold wine. Dark cherry, plum, seems like the tannins came out more as it opened up. Paired great with marinara baked chicken over spaghetti squash.
