Negroamaro Origin - Ancient Grape Variety Modernly Interpreted

Negroamaro is considered an indigenous grape variety from Apulia, with its origin often traced back to the Greeks. However, there is no evidence for this thesis thus far, and so Italy is firmly established as the origin for now. The name consists of Negro, the Italian word for black, and amaro. The latter can be translated into German as bitter, although no bitterness occurs in Negroamaro at full ripeness. Another possible translation comes from Greek, where amaro also means black. Black-black - fits the almost black color of the red wine.

Today, Italian wine can be found almost everywhere in Apulia. What largely began as a blending wine has rewarded the regions in Apulia with their own quality seals.
