Negro Amaro yields a delightful medium-bodied, refreshing red wine, although riservas can exhibit a fuller, more robust character. Offering a spectrum of styles, from affordable and straightforward to opulent and full-bodied, it also produces some of Italy’s finest rosato wines. Well-crafted Negro Amaro wines boast characteristic aromas of black fruit, tobacco, and a distinctive hint of shoe polish. On the palate, they can range from rich and velvety to light and invigorating. Historically, Negro Amaro has been employed to enhance alcohol content and body in wines from central and northern Italy, as its high yields yield ample alcohol without overwhelming fruity notes. Exceptional examples reveal enticing aromas and flavors of almond blossoms, wild strawberries, and zesty citrus, distinguished by their deeper color compared to rosato wines from Garda or Provence, France.
