Salice Salentino

2012 Salice Salentino Negroamaro

The Ginuzzo Salice Salentino, crafted from the Negroamaro grape, offers a rich and captivating experience, embodying the essence of the Salice Salentino region. This deep red wine showcases a full-bodied character, enhanced by pronounced acidity that enlivens the palate. As you savor each sip, the fruit intensity is quite prominent, revealing luscious notes of dark berries and plums intertwined with subtle hints of spice. The tannins are notable yet smooth, providing a firm structure that complements its richness. This wine is dry, making it an excellent companion for a variety of dishes, from hearty pastas to grilled meats, ensuring a delightful dining experience. The 2012 vintage shines brightly, reflecting the unique terroir of this enchanting Italian region.

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.
