Fish: a Negroamaro to drink with fish

To those who know little about wine, drinking a red with fish might seem like heresy! In fact, it is generally recommended (and advisable) to pair whites with dishes of this type; these are basic rules that are more or less known to everyone.

There are also exceptions, reds with certain characteristics that pair well where customs and traditions would call for a white (and vice versa); this is the case with the wine we are about to describe.
It is no coincidence that this Negroamaro is called Fish; the winery itself suggests, even on the back label, what to drink it with!
The producer is Teanum, a winery we liked very much and whose Gran Tiati and metodo classico sparkling wine we have already reviewed; among other things, they also make an excellent olive oil!
Fish is a Puglia IGT, made from Negroamaro grapes trained on a trellis system 150 meters above sea level and hand-harvested.

Poured in the glass it shows a brilliant ruby red with an orange rim. On the nose: not-yet-ripe strawberry, raspberries, currants, mint, spices, cloves.
On the palate it almost seems like a white! Absolutely fresh, acidic, refined and elegant, moderately persistent.
We absolutely confirm the winery's recommendation: an ideal red for fish. Excellent paired with grilled dishes, but also with mollusks, crustaceans, and raw preparations.
Also enjoyable as an aperitivo and very much appreciated by the fairer sex.
