Piana del Sole Negroamaro 2004

From Puglia Southern Italy, this wine made from 100% Negroamaro opened to quite a rich bouquet of blackcurrant, plum, raspberry, vanilla and some earthy notes. On the palate it was awash with stewed fruits, cola and some smoky notes. Not dissimilar to a fruitier pinot, this wine was quite generous, uncomplicated and rustic. Perhaps a little too fruity for me but still enjoyable. Good price at $9.
