Description
The Palamà Winery is a small family estate located in the Apulia region of southern Italy. Established by Arcangelo Palama in 1936, the winery is now on its third generation of winemakers. Arcangelo’s son, Cosimo (known as Ninì) took over in 1988; the wines are crafted from varieties indigenous to the region and are celebrated for the expressive and robust character they exhibit.
The vines for ‘Albarossa’ are grown on the espalier trellising system; the wine is made from 100% Negroamaro (means “black bitter”, in Italian). The wine was crafted to embrace the classic style of wine from Salento; a blend of tradition, artisanal wine making techniques and simplicity.

Taste
This Negroamaro great intensity and depth of flavour showing kirsch and raspberry compote. There is a distinct dried earth and leather note to the wine, with dried mushroom and fresh Mediterranean herbs such as bay leaf, marjoram and rosemary. The wine is dry, medium-full bodied, with persistent tannins and refreshing acid.
