Salice Salentino Maiana Rosso 2001

Puglia, ItalyMade from hand-pick, 30 year old negroamaro grapes planted to high density. Look for a savoury, gamey, prune nose streaked with licorice and dried figs. Very soft and round on the palate with big spicy, peppery, chocolate mocha and Christmas cake flavours. No lack of flavour intensity but a touch acidic and cooked on the finish.Tasted: 27 January 2004Tasted by: Stuart TobePrices:
