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:


Salento

The heel of Italy's boot, Salento is a hot, sun-baked region known for its rustic red wines. Most are made from the holy trinity of local grapes: Negroamaro, Malvasia Nera and Primitivo (usually known as Zinfandel in the New World). Some of these robust blends feature big Italian names like Sangiovese and famous French grapes like Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. While powerful red wines are the main attraction here, white wines from Salento, with their intense, fruity aromas, are also worth seeking.
