Grape

Negroamaro

Origin
From the Puglia region, Salice Salento is creating a bit of a buzz in the wine community for it's complex, distinct and great value wines. This is no exception, the indigenous Negroamoro grape creating a smoky, plummy wine with earthy notes and real identity.
Taste
This robust wine displays real complexity from several years' bottle ageing, including dried fig and smoky notes. However, a backbone of dark plum and bramble still dominate.
Enjoy
This is a full-bodied style of wine, but the added complexity from ageing make it a match to a myriad of barbecued meat dishes.

    Lovely Italian red for the money

    This ruby red Italian has characteristically lively tannins, but lovely brambly fruit soon comes to the fore and distinguishes this as a very good inexpensive wine rather than simply a cheap one. In fact as someone else in the shop said when he saw me with a bottle, "One of the best in the store at under a tenner!" I had my first bottle with pork chops, and it went extremely well with food. Lovely.

    Smooooth and Satisfying

    Fantastic value at the offer price of 6.99. Soft fruit flavours - morello cherry with a hint of violet. This grape is reminicent of Cabernet Franc (as in a mature Chinon), and the Mencia in Spain. This wine improves tremendously with opening well in advance.

    Yummy!

    Big, fruity but with good tannins. Gluggable. Some depth of flavour. Very enjoyable.

    sunshine in a glass

    Berry burst with spice

    Definitely needs a good hour to breathe. Good rich tannins on the palate. Lovely full bodied, robust, punchy red which must be enjoyed with a red meat meal.
