Wine from Salice Salentino

If you are looking for a treasure of robust red wines, the Salice Salentino region in Italy's Puglia is a must-visit. Nestled between the Adriatic Sea and the Apennine mountains, its warm, Mediterranean climate and clay-limestone soils nurture the renowned Negroamaro and Malvasia Nera grapes. This historic area, recognized since 1976 as a DOC, boasts traditional winemaking techniques, including aging in large wooden barrels, which enhance its wines' depth. The sub-region of Arneo is particularly celebrated for its expressive and bold offerings.
