Salice Salentino
D.O.C.
Salice Salentino is produced mainly from Negroamaro, combined with a small amount of Malvasia Nera. The modern winemaking allows to obtain a wine with bright purplish red, with intense aromas of black fruit and a fresh palate characterized by slightly bitter finish typical of the variety. Serve at 16-18 ° C, very versitile in food pairing.
