Behold one of the most delicious new releases from Puglia: The 2011 Negroamaro Masseria Maìme. This is a charismatic expression executed in an approachable and modern style. In appearance, the wine shows dark lines of blackberry, prune and blackcurrant with generous background tones of chocolate, Indian spice, teriyaki and smokey barbecue sauce. Smooth tannins and ripe fruit flavors shape a wine that is both contoured, soft and yielding. It is ready to drink now, but could probably hold five years or more.
