Produced with Negroamaro grapes and other vines in a smaller percentage, this Salice Salentino Cantalupi Riserva from the Salento Winery Conti Zecca comes from the Salice Salentino vineyards located near Lecce: here the soils are of alluvial origin, with a conspicuous presence of limestone. After the manual harvest the grapes are subjected to de-stemming and soft pressing, followed by a phase of maceration at a controlled temperature for a duration of 12 days: the fermentation takes place in steel while the maturation requires a stay in oak barrels.
