Amornero Rosso Puglio IGT by Angelo Rocca & Figli 2022

Rocca Amornero Rosso is a finely crafted blend of Negroamaro and native red grape varieties grown in the sun-drenched hills of Puglia. The Mediterranean climate—marked by warm days and cool nights—enhances the grapes’ natural ripeness and fresh acidity. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks preserves its vivid fruit character, while a brief maturation in neutral oak barrels adds a gentle layer of complexity without dulling its vibrant spirit.

Displaying an intense ruby red color, this wine opens with an inviting bouquet of black cherries, blackberries, ripe red fruits, and spices, with delicate hints of vanilla. On the palate, it offers a round, well-balanced sip with soft, unobtrusive tannins. Medium-bodied and harmoniously structured, Rocca Amornero Rosso pairs beautifully with Mediterranean dishes, roasted meats, polenta, flavorful cheeses, and is especially delightful alongside a classic lasagna.

"Ripe dark cherries, dates, dark chocolate, vanilla and licorice on the nose. Full and succulent on the palate, with fine, supple tannins. It’s rich, but juicy and fluid, with
hints of fine herbs and bark at the end. Drink now."
