Paolo Leo Salice Salentino Riserva 2017
In Italy a “Riserva” wine must be aged in oak for at least 24 months, a procedure that increases its structure and complexity, softening tannins and improving its elegance. The appellation Salice Salentino DOP, the most relevant in Salento, in its “Riserva” version is probably the most sought-after among Negroamaro lovers.
