Wine description
Produced with Negroamaro grapes and other vines in a smaller percentage, this Apulian red wine has its origins in the territory of Salice Salentino, near Lecce. After the harvest, the grapes undergo de-stemming and soft pressing with maceration for 8 days and fermentation in steel at a controlled temperature. The maturation, on the other hand, involves a stay in cement tanks coated with food resin.
Characteristics of this Apulian wine
The organoleptic exam shows an intense ruby red color and olfactory notes that evoke ripe fruit and spices; it is soft and well structured on the palate.
Suggested food pairings while tasting this red wine
Excellent with meat-based dishes such as roasts, grills but also medium-aged cheeses. Serve at a temperature of 16-18 ° C.
