Product Description
In 2017, the Bonsegna winery in Puglia, Italy, under Alessandro Bonsegna, carried on the family winemaking tradition from his father, Primo Michele Bonsegna. Alessandro cultivates negroamaro, a native grape of Italy's 'heel'. True to its name meaning 'dark and bitter', this grape produces a dark - colored wine with high tannins. It thrives in Puglia's long, hot summers and occasional droughts. On the palate, this full - bodied wine bursts with dark fruit flavors like plum, blackberry, and black cherry, along with a hint of fresh herbs. The long - lasting tannins will make you eager for another sip. Pair it with teriyaki chicken or pulled pork barbecue for an amazing dining experience!
How to enjoy your Bonsegna Negroamaro: First, let the wine breathe for about 30 minutes before sipping. This helps to open up the flavors. Serve it at a cool room temperature, around 60 - 65°F. When it comes to food pairing, as mentioned, teriyaki chicken or pulled pork barbecue are great choices, but you can also try it with other grilled meats. Keep in mind that the high tannins might be a bit intense, so if you're new to this type of wine, start with small sips. To store the wine, keep it in a cool, dark place. Once opened, seal it tightly and refrigerate. Try to finish it within 2 - 3 days to enjoy its best flavor.
