Salice Salentino Rosso Riserva

2009 Salice Salentino Negroamaro

The Selvarossa Salice Salentino Rosso Riserva, a captivating Negroamaro from the renowned Salice Salentino region, showcases a deep red color that draws you in. This vintage from 2009 presents a full-bodied experience, complemented by bright acidity that enhances its complexity. The fruit intensity is pronounced, with layers of dark cherry and plum flavors intertwined with subtle hints of spice and earth. Tannins are notably firm, providing a structured backbone that supports the wine's character. This Riserva is dry, making it a delightful companion for rich meat dishes and hearty Mediterranean cuisine, promising an enjoyable tasting experience.

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.
