SUD Salice Salentino DOC - Cantine San Marzano

The SUD Salice Salentino from Catine San Marzano is a wonderful, full-bodied and well-balanced red wine cuvée from the Italian wine-growing region of Apulia.

This wine shines in the glass in a deep ruby red with dark red reflections. The intense and spicy bouquet with aromas of black cherry and plum is paired with a distinct herbal note that reflects the Mediterranean climate of the growing region. On the palate, soft tannins unfold embedded in dark stone fruit aromas. The French oak is responsible for the well-integrated wood note, which serves as an excellent counterpart to the Mediterranean herbal aromas. The finish of this full-bodied cuvée is long and powerfully spicy

Vinification of the San Marzano SUD Salice Salentino

This cuvée brings together indigenous varieties such as the Negroamaro and Malvasia Nera grapes. The grapes undergo a natural grafting process due to the reduction in yield, which is due to the limestone rock soil and the low humus layer. Strong sunlight and the warm Scirocco protect against pest damage and complete the natural quality of the wines. After vinification, the cuvée is matured for 6 months in French oak.
