From a blend of rigorously selected Negroamaro grapes, with a touch of Malvasia Nera to add complexity and elegance. The grapes are hand harvested from estate vineyards on the 'Iore' estate in San Pancrazio Salentino, where deep chalk-clay soils predominate. Here the vines are on average 40 years' old and trained in the traditional bush system known as 'alberello' as well as 'spalliera'.
Warm, generous, characterful southern Italian red from one of Puglia's great estates Vigneto Giardinelli Salice Salentino nose is ripe and openly fruity with hints of liquorice and raisins. The palate has a touch of spice to balance the black fruit and ripe tannins. A wonderful balance of sweet ripeness and bitterness, typical of Negroamaro, held together by fresh acidity and given added complexity by a touch of spicy oak. The perfect accompaniment to Italian tomato pasta dishes. Also great with red meats, such as hot roast beef and grain mustard, or perhaps a bean and lentil casserole.
