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.
