Torre Quarto’s 2006 Negroamaro Sangue Blu is a very pretty, elegant Negroamaro. Spices, wild herbs, tobacco, dried cherries and plums all make an appearance as this delicious wine opens in the glass. There is good length and persistence here, both of which contribute to the wine’s overall balance. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2009. Torre Quarto is an excellent source for value-priced reds made from native varieties in Apulia. Importer: Montecastelli Selections, New York, NY; tel. (212) 414-4898
