Most Italian wines are best served with food. This is especially true of wines made from this variety. Negroamaro can be enjoyed with simple pasta dishes or pizza but it is worthwhile trying to find something typical of Puglia or Southern Italy. Dishes to serve with Negromaro: Antipasto, especially if it includes slightly spicy foods, for example Calabrese salami Slow baked lamb and potatoes Pepperonata Grilled tuna steaks
