The wine

"Terra" is the name of the Salice Salentino Riserva from Cantine Due Palme. An exclusive interpretation of the most typical red wine of Salento, produced only in the best vintages of the classic Salice Salentino Selvarossa. It is the result of a very careful selection in the vineyard and in the cellar, this label comprises the result of years of ageing and tasting, just a few bottles for true collectors and enthusiasts.

The historic bush-trained vineyards, harvested late by hand in crates, yield bunches of morphological and gustatory perfection, the symbol of red earth, clay and graphite. Selvarossa Terra is aged for a good 12 months in French oak barriques and further refined in steel and bottle. The slight over-ripening of the grapes gives it superior roundness and complexity.

What does this wine taste like?

A wine with an intense garnet red colour, it offers a bouquet of red fruits on the nose, distinguishable ripe cherry, vanilla and spicy notes typical of Negroamaro. Added, of course, is a hint of aromaticity provided by the Malvasia Nera from Salento. On the palate it is soft, intense, with fine tannins; extraordinarily fresh, thanks to the careful work in the cellar, it has a harmonious and long finish.
