Tasting Notes

On the nose, expect inviting aromas of ripe black cherries, plums, and dried herbs, accompanied by subtle hints of spice and tobacco. The palate is full-bodied and smooth, bursting with flavours of blackberries, dark cherries, and a touch of liquorice, framed by soft, velvety tannins. A delicate undertone of oak adds complexity, leading to a long, warming finish.

Perfect Serve

Serve at 16-18°C to showcase the wine’s depth and complexity. Marchese di Borgosole Salice Salentino is the perfect match for hearty dishes like slow-cooked lamb, rich pasta dishes with tomato-based sauces, or aubergine parmigiana. Its robust nature also makes it a fantastic choice alongside mature cheeses or grilled meats.

Artisan Craftsmanship

Produced in the historic Salice Salentino DOC of Puglia, this wine is crafted from Negroamaro grapes, which thrive in the sun-drenched vineyards of Italy’s south. The combination of warm days and cool nights allows the grapes to develop a deep, concentrated flavour while maintaining their natural acidity, resulting in a beautifully balanced wine.
