Vigne & Vini Rosso Salento Schiaccianoci IGT 2004

ITEM # VIGRSS04     

Varietal: 85% Negroamaro, 15% Malvasia Nera

Viticulture and Vinification Notes: Grapes are harvested from a vineyard in the town of Salento, macerated in temperature controlled tanks, and refined in barrique for a minimum of three months.

Notes From The Winemaker: Ruby red coloured wine with a rich sturcture, extracted from typical grapes of Salento such as Negroamaro and Malvasia Nera. Intense fragrance of ripe fruit, wood and spices; balanced and smooth taste with a finak note of carob. Ideal with meat dishes. Best served at 18°C.

Wine Enthusiast Magazine: 86 Points. Hearty Negroamaro with 15% Malvasia Nera produce a wine that delivers surprisingly delicate tones of blue flowers, blueberry and vanilla. With time, the fragrances become perfume-like in intensity with notes of violet spray and lavender soap. The wine has medium length, sweet flavors and a crisp close.
