Wine description
This red wine from the Apulian Varvaglione winery is made from pure Negroamaro grapes. After the grapes are picked, maceration takes place at a controlled temperature of 26-28 C°. After malolactic fermentation comes the final phase of ageing in French and American barriques for a minimum duration of 10 months.

Recommended pairings with this Apulian red wine
Perfect with red meat dishes. Try it with shellfish. Serve at a temperature of 16-18 C°.
