Salice Salentino Red DOC

Suggested with roasted meats, game and ripe cheeses. Serve at 18-20°C.

VINIFICATION
The grapes, after a soft pressure and following separation of the stalks, are macerated at a checked temperature (20 – 22° C) for at least 13 days. Then a malolactic fermentation follows. In Spring the wine is decanted in French barriques where it remains to refine for about 18 months.
