Negroamaro is a richly satisfying red grape variety from southern Italy, most commonly associated with the Apulia region. The name itself hints at the character of the fruit: deep-coloured, expressive and often brimming with dark fruit flavours. Wines made from Negroamaro are typically medium to full-bodied, with a naturally gentle sweetness from ripe grapes, balanced by a pleasant, savoury edge.

When you’re looking for a grape that delivers both comfort and complexity, Negroamaro is a brilliant choice. Expect aromas and flavours such as black cherry, plum, dried herbs and sometimes a subtle hint of cocoa or tobacco. Depending on the winemaking, you may also find a lightly spicy note and firm, food-friendly tannins.

This grape is ideal if you enjoy reds that pair well with hearty, rustic meals. Think slow-cooked sauces, roasted meats, chargrilled vegetables and mature cheeses. If you’re exploring the wider Grapes range, Negroamaro offers a wonderful window into Italian warmth and Mediterranean character, with plenty of depth without feeling heavy.
