The 2006 Salice Salentino Riserva is a blend of 85% Negroamaro and 15% Malvasia Nera. Ripe fruit and a firm sense of structure come together beautifully in this expressive, mid-weight red. Wild cherries, sweet herbs, licorice and new saddle leather add complexity to the long, finessed finish. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2013.
