Wine Guide
Negroamaro
Very much a Puglian wine, there are very few areas outside of Puglia where Negroamaro is grown, and it's symbolic of the growth of Puglian wine. Negroamaro is a rich, bold wine with intense black fruit & balsamic notes. It has a distinct earthy dried herbs finish, with hints of pepper, olive & licorice. It's incredibly structured, and is the typical representation of sun-baked & muscle wine.
Primitivo (Zinfandel)
The Primitivo grape is also known as Zinfandel in USA or Crljenak Kastelanski in Croatia. Originating in Croatia, it is notorious for uneven ripening. This leads to a higher sugar content, as they are left on the vine to ripen fully. It's a small grape, so despite the thin skin, it usually has higher tannins due to the lower skin-to-juice ratio
Guide to the Red Wine Spectrum
Ever been told to bring a bottle of red wine to a party, and be flabergasted when looking at the wine aisle in a specialty store or supermarket? Well, you're not alone, and to be honest it's not easy to seek out the "right" bottle.
There are tonnes of different red grape varietals out there, but the easiest way to categorise them would be based on whether the wine is light, medium or full bodied.
Orange Wines - Skin Contact White Wines
Orange wine is, in it's simplest explanation, rose wine made from white grapes. The process is relatively similar, with some differences in timeframe. But it's these differences that make it a distinctive wine style.
