Primitive Wine

Salice Salentino Reserve

Do you think that the imagination lingers longer on a lover, until it encounters a labyrinth of odors, a wine as old as the stoup touched with the fingertips and the psalms dear to baroque stone angels. A wine psalm called Negroamaro. This vine is the altar, the black-black soul of Salento, a peninsula of water which in its name intertwines the Latin, niger, and Greek, mavros, declination of a bitter nature.

Negroamaro, Niuru Maru for farmers, in the last century was only used to blend wines from the North and was considered a bridge between the Tacco and the rest of Italy, when these latitudes were a border still unexplored and considered in some ways exotic. The history of Negroamaro, now produced in purity, has thus become everyone's history, a liquid atlas and a widespread identity.

Bunches with sweet pulp and late ripening, characterized by a precious versatility, express one of the most important denominations of Puglia, the Salice Salentino. This wine is certainly one of the synonyms of the frontier land sung by poets and of which we sign three variations on the theme: Negroamaro Rosato, Negroamaro Rosso and Salice Salentino Riserva.

Tasting notes

COLOR : The streaks of garnet escape an intense ruby red.

NOSE : Red fruits, blackberries and orange. The spices end in clear hints of black pepper, tea and undergrowth.

PALATE : Enhanced by the red flowers, the olfactory sensations return to the mouth transported by the pronounced but not impetuous alcohol content. In contrast, the tannins and fresh acidity make this wine balanced and soft.
