A wine as strong as the earth from which it originates, born from the art of cultivation and the fusion of flavours and aromas.
With its intense ruby red colour, Salice Salentino displays at once its decisive, full character. Traces of red fruits enriched with nuances of spices and wood, the taste is warm and velvety, with spicy and toasted notes. An ideal companion for dinners of red and white meats, it also perfectly enhances medium-aged cheeses.
