Caiaffa Negroamaro

Negroamaro — literally "black and bitter" in Italian — is Puglia's great red grape: ancient, proud, and full of southern personality. In the hands of Caiaffa, produced using certified organic farming practices that respect the land and the long-established viticulture of this sun-drenched heel of Italy, it becomes a wine of real character, warmth, and depth.

Deep in colour and full of aroma, Caiaffa Negroamaro opens with inviting notes of ripe blackberry, dark cherry, and red plum, with a subtly earthy quality and a hint of wild Mediterranean herbs that speaks clearly of its Puglian origins. On the palate, it's smooth and generously fruited, with a roundness and warmth typical of wines from this sun-soaked region, balanced by natural acidity and gentle, ripe tannins that make Negroamaro so effortlessly food-friendly.

The combination of southern Italy's intense sunshine, the ancient red soils of Puglia, and Caiaffa's commitment to organic viticulture creates a wine that is honest, expressive, and deeply satisfying. No shortcuts, no compromise — just pure Puglian character in a glass, from a grape that has been grown in this region for over 2,000 years.

Pairs beautifully with orecchiette with sausage and broccoli, slow-braised lamb, grilled sausages, hearty tomato-based meat sauces, aubergine parmigiana, and aged Italian hard cheeses. A wine made for food, and equally enjoyable on a warm evening on its own.
