Cantina Sava Poggio Pasano Negroamaro Puglia IGP

In the Sava area, the climate is typically Mediterranean with long, hot summers, but constantly influenced by sea breezes from two seas, which cool the vineyards. Here the area is predominantly flat and characterized by brick-red soils rich in iron oxides from the underlying limestone that give our wines great aromatic complexity.

In Cantina Sava have selected the oldest primitivo saplings and, bunch by bunch, all our grapes are handpicked and brought intact and healthy to the cellar; where they are then handed over to expert winemakers, in charge of the scrupulous vinification and aging and prepare it for a long bottle life. The strength of these wines comes from the ability to dose the three main ingredients of the Salento wine tradition: Sun, sea and passion.

Description

TECHNICAL DATA
Alcohol 14%

APPEARANCE
A dark ruby core accompanied by delicate, bright purple flashes along the glass rim.

NOSE
Focused on small black-skinned fruits, it bursts with intense aromas of blackcurrant, wild blackberries, and a heavy dose of Mediterranean spices (thyme & rosemary).

PALATE
Medium-to-full body with a velvety and perfectly balanced texture. It provides a nice contrast between a warming alcoholic sensation and a mouth-cleansing freshness.

AGEING
The wine is aged for 4 to 5 months in used French and American oak barriques.

PAIRING
Outstanding when paired with lasagna, baked ravioli, pasta with wild boar or spicy fennel sausage. At its best also with grilled pork chops, lamb and medium-aged cheeses.
