Tasting Notes

The colour is intense ruby red, with reflections tending to garnet. The nose is built around an alternation of fruity sensations, aromatic herbs and sweet spices. It enters the mouth with a velvety, harmonious mouthfeel, in which you can appreciate the balance of the tannin, decisive but never over the top.

Salice Salentino Rosso Riserva "60° vendemmia Edizione Limitata" 2014 Jéroboam - Leone de Castris: Why we like it

This "60° vendemmia Edizione Limitata" is a bottle that was created with a very specific intent: to celebrate the commitment of the Leone de Castris winery in the production of Salice Salentino, produced since 1954 and therefore reached its 60th vintage with this label. A historical wine, therefore, here in the intense and concentrated Red Riserva, which is particularly long and persistent on the palate. Malvasia Nera and Negroamaro grapes are carefully harvested, and after a soft pressing, the must ferments, macerating at a controlled temperature for 8-12 days. At the end of the malolactic fermentation, the wine is transferred to 30hl oak barrels for about 12 months, a period followed by further maturation in the bottle. An important label for the winery, intended for true enthusiasts.
