The Salice Salentino DOP wine from the Mocavero winery is produced from grapes coming from plants of about 20 years of age cultivated with the traditional Alberello Pugliese system with a planting density of about 4500 plants per hectare, on calcareous soils – clayey and with a yield of 85 quintals per hectare and final of 65 liters per quintal.

The grapes are harvested starting from the second or third decade of September, followed by the classic red vinification, with prolonged contact time between the marc and the must to allow a greater extraction of coloring substances. The marc is separated from the liquid part (wine must). Fermentation is completed in stainless steel tanks. Once fermentation is complete, the wine is separated from the lees and stored in steel tanks for about a year. Finally it is stabilized, filtered and bottled.

This Salice Salentino has an intense red color with violet reflections, aromas of fresh red berry fruits, in the mouth it is sapid, medium structured and persistent.
