History and Production

The Salice Salentino DOP (specifically mentioned as a **Riserva** in the description) is produced from grapes harvested between the second and third decade of September, coming from approximately 20-year-old vines cultivated with the traditional **Apulian Bush Vine system** (*Alberello Pugliese*). Vinification takes place in red, with prolonged maceration to ensure optimal color extraction. After fermentation, the wine ages in **stainless steel tanks for approximately one year**, before being stabilized, filtered, and bottled, maintaining a profile of freshness and structure.
