🍷 PaoloLeo Taccorosso Negroamaro Red Wine 2018 is a still red wine from Puglia, Italy, carrying the Puglia IGP geographical designation. This 750 ml bottle has an alcohol content of 14.5%. Taccorosso centres on Negroamaro, giving the grape variety and regional origin a clear place in the wine’s identity. It is a practical choice for a meal where a substantial red wine is part of the experience.
🍇 The wine is made from 100% Negroamaro. Its intense red colour and spicy bouquet are characteristic features, with green pepper notes adding a savoury accent. The texture is soft and velvety, balancing the aromatic character with a smooth impression on the palate. Take time with the first glass and let the aromas develop rather than serving the wine immediately after opening.
🪵 Maturation includes three months in stainless steel, ten months in tonneaux and three months in bottle. These are separate stages: the complete maturation period is not spent in oak. The 2018 vintage and Puglia IGP designation distinguish this bottle from other wines in the PaoloLeo range.
🍽️ Serve PaoloLeo Taccorosso Negroamaro Red Wine at 18°C, allowing at least 30 minutes of aeration before drinking. Roast meat and a board of cured meats are direct pairing choices. A broad wine glass makes it easier to follow the wine as it opens. For a dinner, open the bottle while preparing the food and serve small initial pours so each guest can assess the developing aromas. Contains sulphites. The 2018 vintage appears with a Rosso award in The WineHunter’s 2025 archive.
