Salento Negroamaro IGT 2019 - Masseria Ficarigna

This Salento Negroamaro is produced from one of the most representative native vines of the Salento peninsula, of which Masseria Ficarigna is the spokesperson. Inspired by the symbolic prickly pear fruit, the label features a stylized image of a "pica", the Salento magpie, among the birds that contribute to the dispersion of seeds and the spread of this plant in the region.The grapes are carefully picked by the cellar team and immediately transported to the cellar where a soft pressing and fermentation with maceration in steel for 15 days take place. The wine finishes its refinement with a passage in barriques for 8-10 months.It is a red wine with a ruby hue. The nose is deep and orchestrated on rich red berried fruit notes. In the mouth it is intense, soft and balanced.Excellent to combine with first courses of Mediterranean cuisine, as well as cured meats and medium-aged cheeses.
