Santi Medici

The Castel Di Salve Santi Medici is a delightful white wine hailing from the picturesque Salento region of Italy, crafted from an equal blend of Garganega and Malvasia di Candia grapes. This vintage showcases a medium body with a vibrant acidity that invigorates the palate, making it a truly refreshing choice. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing lush flavors of stone fruit and citrus, while the wine's delicate sweetness lends an appealing layer of complexity. The overall profile is dry, ensuring a crisp finish that pairs beautifully with a variety of seafood dishes or light appetizers. This wine embodies the sunny, Mediterranean character of its origin, promising an enjoyable experience with every sip.

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.
