Tempio di Giano · Negroamaro IGT 2023

  The Tempio di Giano Negroamaro from Vetrère is a single-varietal Negroamaro from Salento, part of the winery's “Selezione” line. The grapes are harvested mechanically but with careful selection, then destemmed, pressed, and fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The wine is then aged for four months in steel and a further two months in the bottle.

It has a deep ruby red color with garnet reflections. The bouquet is dominated by aromas of ripe red fruits such as cherries and plums, accompanied by spicy notes and hints of licorice and cocoa. On the palate, “Tempio di Giano” offers good balance: it is fresh thanks to its present but not excessive acidity and soft, supple tannins, which make it accessible. Its character is versatile, ideal with pasta dishes with strong sauces, grilled meats, or medium-aged cheeses. - Gerardo [TS10/24]
