Lady Killer

2013 Salento Malvasia Nera

The 2013 Castel Di Salve Lady Killer, a charming expression of Malvasia Nera, hails from the sun-kissed Salento region in Italy. This delightful white wine showcases a body that is light and refreshing, perfectly balanced by bright acidity that invigorates the palate. The fruit intensity is elegantly pronounced, revealing a luscious tapestry of stone fruits and citrus notes, while subtle layers of minerality and floral nuances add depth and complexity. With a pleasingly dry finish, this wine delivers a harmonious experience that is both enjoyable and food-friendly, making it a wonderful choice for various culinary pairings or simply savoring on its own.

Region:


Puglia
Puglia

The heel of Italy's "boot," sunny Puglia (the "g" is silent), is famed for its olive oils, almonds and of course, its rich, full-bodied wines. Although dry and intensely hot in the summer, Puglia has coastlines on three sides, providing cool Mediterranean breezes to alleviate the daytime heat. Primitivo (known in the US as Zinfandel) does well here, with other popular red varieties including Sangiovese and Negroamaro. But it is not all about reds in Puglia: the local Fiano grape produces gloriously nutty, tropical-flavored white, while Falanghina makes intensely fruity wines with citrus blossom notes.
