Varvaglione 12 e Mezzo Negroamaro del Salento

Varvaglione 12 e Mezzo is a flagship label from the Varvaglione 1921 winery, specifically featuring the Negroamaro grape variety from the Salento region in Puglia, Italy. The name '12 e Mezzo' reflects the wine's moderate alcohol content of 12.5%, which is a deliberate stylistic choice by the winemaker to offer a more elegant and approachable profile compared to the traditionally heavier wines of Southern Italy.

The winery is a family-owned estate located in Leporano, near Taranto. It is currently managed by the Varvaglione family, representing multiple generations of viticultural tradition in Apulia. The brand remains under independent family ownership, specifically under Varvaglione Vigne & Vini Srl, ensuring that the production and heritage remain rooted in the local Italian terroir.
