Cantine Due Palme Cellino San Marco Salice Salentino Riserva Selvarossa DOC

Tasting notes
The Selvarossa Salice Salentino Riserva convinces with a strong, dark ruby red color with garnet reflections. The bouquet is very open, featuring spicy wild berry notes and gourmet hints of chocolate, nougat, Cointreau, candied orange, and honey. It is very concentrated on the palate, with a big body and delicious sweetness, ending in a long cherry finish.

Vinification
Fermentation occurs on the skins for 14 days at a maximum temperature of 27°C in state-of-the-art horizontal rotary vats. This is followed by aging for about 9 to 12 months in 225-liter barriques made from Allier and Troncais oak. Before the Selvarossa Salice Salentino Riserva leaves the winery, it continues to age for at least 12 months in the bottle.

Culinary recommendation
Pairs well with strong game dishes, grilled meats, aged cheeses, stews, and braised meats.
