Genel bakış
Salice Salentino hakkında
Salice Salentino sits further south than Manduria, deep in the Salento peninsula, and is built on Negroamaro — 'black bitter', a nod to its dark colour and slightly savoury edge — usually softened with up to 10% Malvasia Nera. The reds are full, warm and food-friendly, historically shipped north in bulk to add body and colour to thinner wines from elsewhere in Italy.
A rosato (rosé) version, often released early, is also widely made and is one of Puglia's best-known pink wines.
