Cantina Sampietrana Squinzano Riserva DOC

Cantina Sampietrana Squinzano Riserva DOC is a bold, complex, and deeply rewarding Italian red wine that beautifully captures the sun-drenched soul of Puglia by blending intense dark fruit purity with a rich, oak-aged elegance. On the nose, this authentic Southern Italian blend of Negroamaro and Malvasia Nera reveals expressive aromas of ripe blackberries, juicy plums, and fragrant black cherries layered with dried oregano, thyme, sun-baked earth, and a subtle touch of oak-derived vanilla. The palate is dry, full-bodied, and remarkably well-balanced, delivering concentrated flavours of dark fruit compote and tart cranberry supported by firm yet velvety tannins, a touch of cocoa, and a lively acidity that keeps its richness energetic and focused. The finish is long, savoury, and deeply satisfying, lingering on notes of black pepper, warming spice, and subtle earthiness, making it a perfect pairing for grilled ribeye steak, roasted lamb, wild boar ragout, or mature Pecorino Romano cheese.
