1943 SALENTO ROSSO IGP
TASTING NOTES
An intense red wine with purple highlights. Its bouquet appears very complex and elegant. On the nose it explodes with hints of roasted coffee bean, ripe cherry and plum, combined with spicy notes of vanilla. Harmoniously balanced and velvety on the palate, with a delicate balance of tannins it is full-bodied and delicious, with the rich underlying sweetness typical of wines made with dried grapes.

Selvarossa TERRA Salice Salentino Riserva DOP 2011
TASTING NOTES: The wine has an intense garnet red colour with a full bouquet of red fruits in particular ripe cherries with hints of vanilla and the special Negroamaro spiciness. On the palate it is beautifully soft with an intensity of flavour and soft tannins. Wonderfully fresh (thanks to the careful work in the cellar) it has a long and satisfying finish. Perfect as a wine of mediation… or of conversation!
SERRE Susumaniello Salento IGP
TASTING NOTES: A deep ruby red in colour with blue depths; on the nose the red fruits dominate with jam and notes of graphite pencil to finish. On the palate it shows a splendid balance between ripe fruit and minerality. An excellent long finish.
It should also be mentioned that Susumaniello grapes are particularly rich in anthocyanins which being anti-oxidants have numerous health benefits.
