It's nice to get 2 in a row! I liked this from the cork. I find it to be very "Italianate," if I may say so? I taste the Negroamaro grape along with clove and tobacco undertones, accompanied by a rich, and ripe plum flavor as well. I find the balance to be excellent - gracing my pallet lightly to start, but finishing long, showcasing it's well cultivated tannins and acidity, bringing even a little vanilla and light cream to my tongue. For all this flavor, it retains a light, clean, and crisp nature that I liked, and enjoyed with every sip.
I find it to be a very versatile wine, I'd pair it with lamb, veal, duck and even some seafood, specifically a chilean sea bass in a solid and flavorful preparation. To me, the Salice Salentino quickly reveals it's Italian heritage, of young love out for a picnic, rewarded with a warm day on a hillside overlooking the ocean far below them, one laying upon the other, sharing a day neither will forget. I'll bring the Salice on such a picnic, the next time I am fortunate enough to plan one. Ah, salut.
I think I am finally able to visit your blog. I requested to follow privately? I was not certain which way to go! I love reading your blogs.
