Salento Rosso Puglia IGT - Terre di Campo Sasso

The elegant Salento Rosso Puglia from the pen of Terre di Campo Sasso shines into the glass with a bright purple-red hue. Poured into a Bordeaux glass, this Old World red wine reveals wonderfully expressive aromas of wild berry jam, blueberry, blackcurrant and rumtopf, rounded off by black tea, vanilla and oriental spices contributed by its maturation in wooden casks.

The Terre di Campo Sasso Salento Rosso Puglia presents itself to the wine drinker as delightfully dry. This red wine never appears coarse or austere, but rather round and smooth. On the palate, this well-balanced red is characterized by an incredibly dense texture. Thanks to its balanced acidity, the Salento Rosso Puglia caresses the palate with a pleasing feel, without lacking juicy liveliness. On the finish, this youthful wine from the Apulia winegrowing region finally delights with a beautiful length. Once again, nuances of rumtopf and wild berry preserves appear.
