Castello Monaci Negroamaro Maru 2018

The term "Maru" translates into dark or severe and correctly describes some of the characteristics of Puglia's native Negroamaro grape. 

Intense dark berry and spicy aromas, round and ripe on the palate with an excellent structure.

The fruit is hand-harvested at dawn to preserve sugar levels and avoid the heat of the sun. Each parcel is vinified separately in small stainless steel tanks followed by blending and then 6 months aging in 75% stainless steel and 25% 2nd and 3rd use French oak. 80,000 bottles produced.
