🍷 Episode 41: Negroamaro – The Bold & Rustic

In this episode, we’re heading to the sun-drenched heel of Italy—Puglia—to shine a spotlight on a bold, underrated red grape that deserves a place in your glass: Negroamaro. It’s rich, rustic, and seriously food-friendly, with a name that might sound intimidating but a flavor that’s anything but.

- What “Negroamaro” really means—and why the name tells you a lot about the wine 
- Why Puglia’s dry heat and sea breezes make it the perfect home for this grape 
- How Negroamaro tastes (think dark fruit, dried herbs, earthiness, and a touch of smoke) 
- What foods pair beautifully with it—from slow-cooked meat dishes to roasted veggies 
- How winemakers are getting creative with styles, including rosato (yes, rosé!)
