Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: full-bodied, medium tannin, medium acidity, off-dry
A warm, approachable southern Italian blend that leans on Negroamaro's dark fruit and earthy depth, rounded out by Zinfandel's jammy, spiced character. Expect ripe blackberry and dried fig on the palate with soft tannins and a touch of residual sweetness that makes it easy-drinking and crowd-pleasing. This is a straightforward, unpretentious red built for everyday enjoyment rather than cellaring.
Serving: Serve at 16–18 °C.

Where it comes from
Puglia, Italy
Puglia — the long region forming the heel of Italy's boot, running down the southeast Adriatic coast.
Negroamaro
Negroamaro is a red grape of southern Italy, deeply rooted in Puglia's sun-baked heel, where it has long been one of the workhorse varieties of the region.
Zinfandel
Zinfandel is a red grape genetically identical to Croatia's Tribidrag (or Crljenak) and to southern Italy's Primitivo, though it became an icon in California.
