Produced from an indigenous varietal, the 2000 Negroamaro (14% alcohol) was aged for 12 months in new and one-year old French Troncais and Alliers barrels. It possesses an opaque black/purple color as well as a full-bodied bouquet of cassis, earth, licorice, and vanilla. Powerful, ripe, dense, and pure, it should drink well for 7-10 years.
