ACID CRAB
UNCONVENTIONAL NEGROAMARO IGT SALENTO

“Acid Crab” from Produttori di Manduria is a playful, unconventional take on Negroamaro, a grape traditionally known for rich, dark, full-bodied wines from Puglia. The quirky name signals a shift away from that classic style, instead highlighting higher acidity, freshness, and a more modern, edgy approach that challenges the region’s “big and jammy” reputation. The result is a brighter, lighter, more chillable red with vibrant fruit and a subtle bitter finish, designed for easy drinking rather than power.

Tasting notes

Intense ruby red colour. The nose shows lively fruity hints of black cherries, cherries and blackberries, followed by hints of wild undergrowth and bark. The finish is liquorice root, sweet spices and the classic black pepper. Easy-drinking, fresh and savoury on the palate. Pulpy and satisfying sip, with a very velvety tannic texture. Good persistence.
