Salice Salentino Riserva DOP "Selvarossa Riserva del Fondatore" 2017 - Due Palme

A Salice Salentino Riserva from Due Palme, made from Negroamaro with a smaller share of Malvasia Nera. Part of the grapes are slowly dried in a fruttaio to enhance body and structure; fermentation takes place in steel, followed by nine months in wood and long bottle ageing. It is an important red for braised meats, game stews and savoury cheeses. Intense ruby red with garnet reflections; the nose is complex, with cherry jam, dates, vanilla and liquorice, while the palate shows juicy ripe small red fruits, sweet wood notes and integrated tannins.
