Arcangelo Negroamaro IGP From larger-than-life winemaker Ninì Palamà comes this powerfully built, yet enchantingly elegant Negroamaro named for Ninì’s father and mentor, Arcangelo. This vibrant Negroamaro from Salento is at the cutting edge of Puglian winemaking today. Clean, yet not stripped of character, it boasts layered aromas of steeped spices. A fantastic value, we would humbly place this wine amongst the best, most expressive, fresh-style wines from southern Italy. WINEMAKER BIOGRAPHY Surrounded by three seas, father and son Nini and Michele work side by side on the Salento Peninsula, the sun-drenched heel of the Italian boot. As they could achieve ripe fruit in their sleep, the family’s real artform lies in control – watching, waiting, and harvesting before grapes overripen, allowing them instead to showcase Puglia’s spectacular terroir.
