Wine features:
This wine, which is produced only in the best vintages, is the result of a late harvest of autochthonous grapes of Salento, coming from ancient old vines cultivated with the tree system. Its elegance and character makes it unique. After refining for 5 years in big Slavonian oak casks, it has the structure and the texture beloniging to the great wines of this area. Its colour is deep red with garnet highlights. Its nose is intense and fascinating with ripe red fruits meeting spicy scents. Velvety and round, it has noble tannins and a long lasting persistence.

Food matches: braised meat, game and roasted lamb. Excellent with terrines and very seasoned cheeses. Thanks to its austere character and intensity, this wine is a meditation glass, which can give great satisfaction with dark chocolate.
