The 2008 Negroamaro Sangue Blu is a well-made, pretty red even if the varietal character of Negroamaro is slightly suppressed by the oak. The wine offers good balance in a mid-weight style, with delicate floral notes that come to life on the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2011. Torre Quarto is an excellent source for value-priced wines that capture the unique qualities of Puglia's fascinating indigenous grape varieties.Importer: Montecastelli Selections, New York, NY; tel.
