2024 Duca Carlo Guarini Nativo Negroamaro Salento IGT Puglia 6pk 6x750ml

Puglia's Salento peninsula is red-wine country—sun-baked limestone, sea breezes off the Adriatic and Ionian, and Negroamaro vines that have thrived here for centuries. This is the grape that built the region's reputation: dark, structured, and built to handle the heat without losing its spine.

Duca Carlo Guarini's 2024 Nativo is 100% Negroamaro, organically certified, and priced like an everyday drinker that punches well above its weight. The kind of wine that makes you stop mid-glass and check the price again.

Sweet vanilla opens first—almost cake-like warmth—then baked apple skin and a whisper of marzipan. Rich and intense in the glass, with the structure to stand up to beef, venison, or anything coming off the grill. This is serious fruit at an unserious price.

We taste 5,000 wines a year. We buy 4%. This one made the cut because it delivers $50 wine depth for $37 per six-pack. Pull the cork tonight.
