Varvaglione Masseria Pizzariello 2020

Varvaglione Masseria Pizzariello 2020 is a characterful Apulian red wine combining the dark-fruited richness of Primitivo and Negroamaro with the savoury structure of Aglianico. This southern Italian blend reflects Puglia’s warm Mediterranean climate and Varvaglione Vigne & Vini’s long-standing tradition of crafting expressive, generously flavoured wines.

Tasting Notes
The 2020 vintage is expected to show a deep ruby-red colour, often with garnet highlights. Aromas are centred on ripe blackberries, dark cherries and plums, supported by hints of spice, dried herbs and subtle earthy nuances. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and fruit-forward, with supple tannins, balanced acidity and a warm, persistent finish. Its structure and concentration make it well suited to drinking now, while careful cellaring for several years may allow the fruit and spice notes to develop further.

Production
Produced in Puglia from Aglianico, Negroamaro and Primitivo, this blend brings together three grapes well adapted to the region’s sunny, dry Mediterranean conditions. The combination is designed to balance ripe fruit and richness with Aglianico’s deeper structure and savoury character. Detailed information on vineyard sites, harvesting methods and vinification is not available.

Food & Serving
Serve at approximately 16–18°C, allowing the wine to open as it warms slightly in the glass. It pairs well with grilled or roasted red meats, hearty pasta dishes, oven-baked vegetables, sausages and mature hard cheeses. Decanting is not essential, but 30–60 minutes in a decanter can help soften the tannins and reveal the wine’s aromas, particularly when served young.
