Castel di Salve Negroamaro 2008

Editorial Review by Gregory Dal Piaz:

Aggressively aromatic with notes of earth, balsamic spice and wild red fruits. This initially comes off as a bit fruit-forward but it has a rustic feel that helps focus the clean fruit in the mouth. Real freshness here both to the fruit and in the mouthfeel, with wonderfully spicy red fruits that extend through the finish. 90pts

This is a great table wine, easy to sip, try to keep a bottle on hand.

2007 note: A very special wine this year, still youthful (and none the worse for it) with blackcurrant and raspberry fruit, with inlaid cinnamon and pepper. This will develop over five years into a quite serious contender.
