A wonderfully matured Salice Salentino with character and depth: Per Lui Salice Salentino Riserva comes from selected Negroamaro vineyards that are deeply rooted in the iron-rich soils around Salice. Extended ageing in wood – partly in barriques, partly in tonneaux – lends the wine density and expression without compromising its balance. In the glass, it is a deep ruby red with a slight garnet rim. The nose is warm and complex: black cherry, plum, dried herbs, a hint of tobacco and a touch of cedar. On the palate, it is structured and powerful, with well-integrated tannins, juicy fruit and a spicy finish. An elegant, mature Salice Salentino that reveals its finer, more serious side – very much in the style of the great wines of southern Apulia. SUPERIORE.DE

"A brilliant ruby red with a garnet-red rim. On the nose, intense aromas of blackberry, redcurrant and orange marmalade, underpinned by cinnamon stick and Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, an elegant core of fruit, firm, fine-grained tannins, lovely juiciness and final fruity final." Falstaff

"A polished red, with supple, sandy tannins and orange peel acidity framing flavors of Amarena cherry, fig cake, dark chocolate and dried marjoram. An underpinning of fresh, loamy earth lingers on the finish." Wine Spectator
