About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes are grown in Salice Salentino in southeastern Italy. The area encompasses the small town of Salice on the Salento peninsula and extends north and west.

Vinification

The wine is made by traditional red-wine vinification using modern cellar technology. Fermentation is deliberately stopped to retain residual sugar, while the temperature is kept as low as possible throughout production to preserve the bright fruit aromas.

Tasting profile

Bright fruit aromas.

Serving and pairing

Pairs with red meat dishes, hard cheeses, cured meats and fruit.
