Suavitas

Salice Salentino Red Blend

Suavitas Suavitas is an enchanting red blend hailing from the picturesque Salice Salentino region. This captivating wine presents a medium-bodied profile, perfectly balanced with a vibrant acidity that tantalizes the palate. The fruit intensity is prominent, offering lush notes of dark cherry and ripe plum, which harmoniously intertwine with subtle hints of spice and earthiness. Tannins are medium, providing a smooth texture that enhances the wine's overall appeal without overpowering its rich fruit character. The finish is dry, leaving a delightful and lingering impression that invites another sip. Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with hearty dishes, Suavitas Suavitas is a wonderful expression of the terroir and craftsmanship found in this celebrated 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.
