Paololeo Orfeo Negroamaro Puglia IGP Dry Red Wine 5L 14.5%
🍷 Paololeo Orfeo Negroamaro Puglia IGP is an Italian dry red wine presented in a 5-litre bottle with a wooden gift box. Made from Negroamaro in Puglia, it offers a generous large-format option for a shared table, a celebration or a wine gift. The wine has an alcohol content of 14.5%.
The aromatic profile combines ripe dark berries, black cherry, plum and subtle spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied and well-structured, with smooth tannins, balanced acidity and a long finish. Its rich fruit character and rounded texture make it a natural match for a meal centred on savoury, substantial dishes.
Paololeo’s maturation programme for Orfeo includes three months in steel, twelve months in American and French oak barriques, and a further three months in bottle. The time in different vessels is part of the producer’s approach to this Negroamaro, bringing together fruit, structure and oak influence before release.
🍽️ Serve at approximately 18°C in a generous red-wine glass. The producer recommends allowing the wine to breathe before serving. Grilled meats, roasted dishes, pasta with rich sauces and aged cheeses are good pairing options; choose the sauce and seasoning to suit the wine’s full-bodied style.
The wooden box makes this 5-litre presentation suitable for gifting, while the larger bottle is intended for occasions when wine will be shared among several people. Plan serving quantities before opening and place the bottle on a stable surface when pouring. Keep it away from direct sunlight and sources of heat throughout the meal.
