Maru or "severe, dark" in the Salentino dialect is the name chosen for this negroamaro, produced from grapes of the variety of the same name, a name evocative of a land which breathes, dedicated to its best indigenous grapes, a lively, generous, intense name like the place from which it comes. Part of the wine matures for 6 months in French barriques of various toastings, while the rest stays in steel. Garnetred colour, it has an intense bouquet with notes of Mediterranean scrub and eucalyptus. Full and round flavour is suited to long ageing.
