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.

HISTORICAL AND TECHNICAL NOTES
This wine is known as “The President’s Wine” as it is produced from old vineyards planted with vines pruned using the ancient Alberello system in 1968 by Angelo Maci himself in the La Mea district of Cellino San Marco.
At harvest time the Primitivo and Aglianico grapes are carefully selected by handpicking into boxes and then a part of them are dried (Appassimento) in the cellars which are kept free of humidity to avoid spoilage. The concentrated juice extracted from the berries is very high in sugars and yields a wine with great body and structure .
This extraordinary wine is then aged for 9 months in new barrels before being bottled in numbered bottles and aged a little longer before being released for sale.
