Epicuro Salice Salentino

Salice Salentino doesn't yet enjoy the fame of Primitivo, Negroamaro, and Montepulciano, but that doesn't mean this top wine from the Epicuro winery isn't worth a visit. Quite the opposite. It's a complex wine from the eponymous village of Salice Salentino. Epicuro has vineyards around this village, where the grapes for this Italian wine grow. This further demonstrates the versatility Epicuro enjoys!

The grapes for Salice Salentino

Epicuro's vineyards around Salice Salentino are among the finest in this region. Situated on precisely the right slopes, with the perfect amount of sun, the grapes ripen optimally. This village is located in the far south of Puglia, in the heel of the boot. Because the vineyards are enclosed by the Adriatic and Ionian coasts, a gentle breeze blows through the vineyards at night, allowing the grapes to ripen beautifully. This Salice Salentino is made with the ever-familiar Negroamaro (80%) and Malvasia Nera (20%). Two indigenous grape varieties that have proven themselves in the Italian wine landscape. Moreover, the two varieties bring out the best in each other. Epicuro Salice Salentino is a well-balanced glass of Italian wine that you won't want to stop enjoying.

Enchant your senses with Epicuro Salice Salentino

Enchanting is perhaps the most fitting word; that's how good Epicuro Salice Salentino is. Thanks in part to the light oak aging the wine undergoes after vinification, this Italian wine is a success. This wine has it all: intensity, ripeness, but also incredibly smooth. Use your nose and savor! You'll smell a wealth of red fruit, such as wild strawberries and red berries, but also plums, leather, and tobacco. Take a sip and be amazed. You'll taste blackberries, cherries, oak, vanilla, spices, and chocolate. Enormously powerful and complex in flavor, yet velvety smooth; like falling into a down comforter! A superb glass from southern Italy!
