Giorgio?&?Gianni Negroamaro is a striking representation of southern Italy’s rich winemaking heritage. Crafted from 100% Negroamaro grapes in Puglia’s Salento sub-region, this full-bodied red offers intensity, depth, and a true sense of place. Whether you’re browsing wine online Ireland options or visiting a wine shop Dublin trusts, this bold Italian red is a compelling addition to any collection.
From the very first sip, the deep, almost inky colour gives way to an intense bouquet of ripe black cherries, dried figs, and fragrant liquorice, with lifted notes of toasted oak. The palate is rich and structured, offering flavours of plum, dark berries, spiced chocolate, and warm spice, all anchored by velvety tannins and a persistent finish. This wine perfectly embodies the Full-Bodied & Bold flavour profile—ideal for those who enjoy big, flavourful reds with elegance.

Food Pairings
This Negroamaro thrives with bold, savoury dishes. Try it with grilled lamb chops, braised beef, or pepper-crusted steak. Its rich, fruity profile also complements tomato-based pastas like penne arrabbiata or lasagne, and is excellent alongside aged cheeses such as Parmigiano-Reggiano or Pecorino. For hearty vegetarian fare, serve it alongside roasted eggplant parmesan, wild mushroom risotto, or grilled vegetable kebabs seasoned with rosemary and garlic.
Perfect for autumn and winter gatherings, this wine works beautifully across Mediterranean feasts and robust Sunday roasts, delivering warmth and depth with each sip.
Serve Giorgio?&?Gianni Negroamaro slightly below room temperature at 16–18?°C. Use a large Bordeaux-style glass to allow the aromatics to develop fully. Consider decanting for 30 minutes to enhance complexity and soften tannins. This wine is best enjoyed now but will continue to unfold over 3–5 years if cellared carefully.
