Grown in Puglia, the heel of the boot of Italy, down south, where the climate is very warm. You get bold, luxurious, characterful reds like this Masso Antico Negroamaro Leggermente Appassite IGT 2021. "Leggermente Appassite" means the wine is fermented with partially dried grapes concentrating the sugar and flavours and giving additional colour and body to the finished wine. Negroamaro is renowned for its dark colour and intense fruit, enhanced by the slight raisining of the grapes which occurs naturally on the vine. This luxurious Masso Antico has mouth coating fine tannins that perfectly compose its rich flavours. This is a whole lot of Red at a very modest price. If you’ve had the Masso Antico Primitivo you’re almost certain to like this Negroamaro, if you are a fan of full-bodied Barossa Shiraz, you should equally enjoy this superb Italian Red.

Fantastic impact on the nose, with abundant mature red and dried fruits, with floral and spice notes.

On the palate it is warm and velvety but fresh at the same time, where the soft, smooth tannins coat the cheeks and tongue, adding to the all-over luxuriously rich texture. Drinking superbly now through 2026 and will pair perfectly with grilled lamb, meatballs, or hearty winter soups.
