I so enjoyed this wine - make sure it's the Riserva. Salice Salentino is the DOC and the wine is made from Negroamaro. A dark garnet color, nice berry fruit and long finish. We were lucky to see the 2002 on an Italian restaurant menu. We choose the pasta dish with a slightly creamy tomato sauce with ground lamb. Delicioso!

    A hearty, red wine that's full of blackberry fruit and dark chocolate. A blend based on Negroamaro with some Malvasia Nera coming from the "boot" of southern Italy, Apulia. Excellent with aged, hard cheese or any variety of rich red meats such as lamb.
