Negroamaro, as is to be expected of a variety whose name translates literally as ‘blackbitter’, can be a fearsome grape. Fortunately Cristiano Guttarolo operates with the lightest of touches and, with added boon of some proper ageing, this is now far more approachable and rich with herbs and limestone minerality.
Cristiano Guttarolo makes Puglian wines that taste like no other. His vineyards are planted at elevation on a limestone plateau which lends his wines, based on local grapes like Primitivo, Negormaro, Susumaniello and Verdeca are rare freshness and palpable energy.
