SALICE Salentino DOP - Varvaglione

With the Varvaglione SALICE Salentino, a first-class red wine is poured into the glass. It offers a wonderfully dense, purple-red color. This Italian red also has a garnet-red edge. This Italian cuvée reveals wonderfully expressive notes of blackcurrants, blackberries, morello cherries and plums in the glass. There are also hints of dark chocolate, vanilla and cigar box.

This red from Varvaglione is ideal for all wine lovers who like it dry. However, it is never austere or brittle, but round and smooth. On the palate, the texture of this powerful red wine is wonderfully velvety and dense. Thanks to the balanced fruit acidity, SALICE Salentino flatters the palate with a pleasing mouthfeel without lacking in juicy liveliness. The finish of this red wine from the wine-growing region of Apulia ultimately impresses with a remarkable aftertaste.

Vinification of SALICE Salentino from Varvaglione

This powerful red wine from Italy is made from the Malvasia Nera and Negroamaro grape varieties. When they are perfectly ripe, the grapes for the SALICE Salentino are harvested exclusively by hand without the help of coarse and less selective harvesters. After manual harvesting, the grapes are transported to the winery as quickly as possible. Here they are sorted and carefully broken up. Fermentation then takes place at controlled temperatures. The fermentation is followed by ageing.

Recommendation for the SALICE Salentino from Varvaglione
