Boccantino Organic Negroamaro IGT is a smooth, full-flavoured red that captures the generous character of southern Italy without becoming heavy. Ripe blackberry, black cherry and plum are balanced by gentle spice, soft tannins and the subtle savoury character that makes Negroamaro such a useful food wine.
It is an excellent choice if you enjoy rich Puglian reds but want something a little more structured and savoury than a typical Primitivo. The organically grown grapes are an additional benefit, but the strongest reason to choose this bottle is its combination of ripe fruit, balance and easy drinkability.
Merchant's Tip
If you enjoy Merlot, Primitivo or rich Rhône reds and would like to discover another southern Italian grape, this is one of the easiest places to start. It has plenty of fruit, soft tannins and enough freshness to remain enjoyable throughout the meal.
Nose: Ripe blackberry, black cherry and plum with hints of sweet spice, dried herbs and a touch of liquorice.
Palate: Smooth and generous, showing dark berry fruit, juicy plum and gentle spice. Rounded tannins and balanced acidity give the wine structure without making it feel firm.
Finish: Soft and persistent, with lingering black fruit, subtle spice and a savoury touch that makes another sip inviting.
This wine is ideal if you enjoy smooth, fruit-forward reds with plenty of flavour but don't want an overpowering wine.
It suits drinkers who enjoy Merlot, Primitivo or softer Rioja and are looking to explore one of southern Italy's most important native grape varieties.
If your preference is for lighter-bodied reds with high acidity and delicate fruit, another style may suit you better.
Negroamaro naturally produces deeply coloured wines with generous blackberry fruit, gentle spice and soft savoury notes. In Puglia's warm Mediterranean climate the grapes achieve excellent ripeness, giving the wine its rich fruit while retaining enough freshness for balance.
Boccantino's modern winemaking focuses on preserving the grape's natural fruit character and smooth texture rather than masking it with heavy oak. The result is an expressive, approachable red that showcases Negroamaro's distinctive personality.
Serve with grilled steak, roast lamb, pizza, tomato-based pasta dishes, slow-cooked beef or mature cheeses.

Negroamaro deserves to be far better known than it is. It offers the generous fruit people enjoy in Primitivo but with a slightly darker, more savoury personality that gives the wine extra character.
If you're looking to move beyond familiar international varieties while staying firmly in crowd-pleasing territory, Boccantino Negroamaro is an excellent place to begin.
