Salento IGP 100% Negroamaro Palamà, Cutrofiano
A red wine made from the typical Negroamaro grape, as a single variety. Ruby red in colour and dry and harmonious in taste, it pairs with boldly flavoured dishes, roasts, game and grilled mushrooms.
It comes from espalier-trained vineyards in Salento and is served at 18–20 °C: a red wine from Puglia that tells of where it was born.

Serving tip: uncork the bottle 20–30 minutes before serving, to let the wine open up and express its aromas at their best. Still excellent the next day, if kept corked in a cool place. |

The selection
Albarossa — the Salento of sun, sea and wind
*“Like the colour of my land at sunrise, on days of strong tramontana wind, when the grapes ripen well. The low vines that reach down to the sea have been before my eyes since I was born; they are part of my wise village, drawn to wine.”*
*“Alba Rossa is Salento at its finest — the Salento of sun, sea and wind. So much wind.”* — Ninì Palamà
The producer
Casa Vinicola Palamà — Cutrofiano, since 1936
Casa Vinicola Palamà has been based in Cutrofiano, in Salento, since 1936. Its wines are made from native Salento grapes — Negroamaro, Primitivo and Malvasia Nera — trained on espaliers or as bush vines, and vinified as single varieties or blends at the historic winery on Via Armando Diaz.
Ninì and the family personally look after the vineyards, the harvest and the winemaking: a direct, artisan care that you can taste in the glass.
In 1996 the winery produced its first bottles and immediately found a place in international markets. Since then the trade press and international wine guides have reviewed Palamà wines with enthusiasm.
