Paolo Leo Negroamaro 2011, IGP Salento, Italy 13%

*** Promotion – Save 10% *** Paolo Leo is the fifth generation of his family to run this beautiful estate in Puglia, the heel of Italy. His philosophy is simply to keep in harmony with nature, intervening only when necessary and let the character of the grapes show through. Negroamaro, literally 'bitter black', is most often paired with Malvasia Nera, to add texture and diffuse its bitterness. Yet when properly ripened, it can produce a fruit-filled characterful wine with lovely mouthfeel. Paolo has judged it just perfectly and this unoaked red should win round many to the quality of the variety. Remarkably deep and youthful purple colour. Spicy cherry and cassis aromas. Soft, juicy blackcurrant and mulberry flavours with a hit of damson and mocha. Smooth chocolatey tannins on the finish with notes of exotic spice. Very good length with lovely aromatic lift.
