SALENTO, a sub-peninsula in the Puglia region of Italy, also known as the ‘heel’ of the boot gracefully encapsulates a host of beautiful towns and bucolic landscapes that attracts thousands of tourists year-round. Salento, despite lying in the most sunny and hottest part of Italy’s Puglia region, holds reserves of fertile soil suitable enough to grow almost anything. It gets this great property from the Puglian coasts that border the Ionian and Adriatic Seas. The seas provide limited but adequate amounts of water and the sea breezes provide a cooling effect that helps moderate the high daytime temperatures of the Salento. Brimming with large estates and extensive vineyards, the Salento has much to offer wine-tasting enthusiasts.
PRIMITIVO SALENTO TORCICODA Tormaresca
Tasting Notes: An intense ruby red color with light violet hues. On the nose, dominant notes of red uit, black cherries, and plums merge with spicy sensations of licorice, vanilla, and tobacco. Its entry on the palate is so and generous with good structure sustained by an elegant tannic texture. It closes with a long, persistent finish accented by a pleasant a ertaste of liqueur cherries.
CAMPANIA is located in the southern part of the Italian peninsula, facing the Tyrrhenian Sea, in what might be called the shin of the peninsula’s boot.

MONTEPULCIANO D'ABRUZZO Valle Reale
Tasting Notes: Bright ruby-red in color, this youthful red offers explosive aromas of blueberries, cherries, licorice, and sweet spices.

This wine can be served before a meal, but it pairs well with meatballs, tomato sauces, eggplant parmigiana, and risotto ai funghi.
