Salice Salentino Red Reserve Wine

2013 Salice Salentino Negroamaro

The Torre Saracena Salice Salentino Red Reserve Wine, crafted from the rich Negroamaro varietal, showcases the depth and character of the Salice Salentino region. This 2013 vintage pours a vibrant ruby red, enticing the senses with its bold and complex aromas. On the palate, it reveals a medium-full body, perfectly balanced with high acidity that brings liveliness and freshness to each sip. The fruit intensity is prominent, offering notes of ripe dark berries intertwined with hints of dried herbs and subtle spice, creating a captivating flavor profile. The tannins are firm yet well-integrated, lending structure and a satisfying grip, while its dryness accentuates the wine's elegance. This exquisite choice is perfect for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying on its own, embodying the essence of Italian winemaking tradition.

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.
