Candido - Carta Salice Salentino Red Wine

From Puglia in the deep south of Italy you can smell sunshine beating on warm terracotta in this wine. It's a delightful ruby colour which develops hints of orange on the rim with maturity. The nose has an ethereal bouquet and distinctive aromas of cocoa and leather. On the palate, it has a pleasant enveloping structure with the typical rich and warm black fruit notes well combined with a hint of oak. It's 95% negroamaro with a touch of malvasia nera.
