Masseria Borgo dei Trulli Negroamaro 2023

From Masseria Borgo dei Trulli, the Negroamaro 2023 is a full-bodied red wine from the Salento area of Puglia, offering an intense red colour with violet hues. Aromas of plums, wild strawberries and black pepper lead into a palate with hints of liquorice and nutmeg, supported by well-balanced tannins and a long finish.

Set in the “heel of Italy’s boot”, Masseria Borgo dei Trulli takes its name from the plural of “Trullo” – traditional Puglian dry-stone huts once used as field shelters or storehouses by Saracen populations hundreds of years ago, with remains still visible today. The estate spans 45ha, including 25ha of vineyards, where the focus is on indigenous grapes and distinctive production methods.

Alongside dark, thick-skinned black grape varieties, the winery cultivates 20ha of Primitivo, including the 10ha “Saracena” vineyard trained in the old Alberello system (free-growing bush tree). This vineyard is over 55 years old, with yields limited to less than 1kg of grapes per vine.
