Fortium Salice Salentino 2003 RED Italy

Vine growing has been common practice in Puglia since 2000 BC and the virtue of its wines extolled in classical literature - in poems by Horace Pliny the Elder and Pliny the Younger. Some of the region's best wines come from the Salento region almost at the tip of Italy's heel. Here Negroamaro grapes dominate benefiting from the arid landscape and warm winds from the Ionian Sea. Described by wine critic Matthew Jukes as "a fabulous red grape bursting with coffee herb and plum aromas" this southern Italian star is full of rich warmth and flavour This Gold medal-winner has intense blackish ruby colour velvety red fruit flavours with touches of mocha and spice. Perfect with rich lasagne or Spaghetti Bolognese.
