Salice Salentino (Dop) is one of the appellations that most represents Salento. Prince of the blend is the native Negroamaro grape with its exuberant personality evident by its strong and dark color, the austere tannins by which it is softened, while being dictated to by the disciplinary hallmarks that make it subtle and engaging. The carefully honed liquid symphony,the succession of notes, is musically toe-tapping and flamboyant,arousing emotions, memories and a sense of timelessness. We have chosen “Easy” by Lionel Richie for our Lacci Salice Salentino, and we leave you to “mellow out“ to the relaxing tones and taste conjured up by our wine Masters.
