2019 Vinous 89 Mar 2025 Shelf Talker Full Page Review
  • Score: 87 Vintage 2021 Wine Spectator A toasty red, with smoke and grilled herb notes accenting the roasted plum, fig cake, vanilla and red licorice flavors. Round and easy-drinking, showing a lightly chewy finish. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
  • Score: 89 Vintage 2019 Vinous The 2019 Salice Salentino Riserva is a varietal Negroamaro. A dark and brooding blend of peppery herbs, tobacco and dried black cherries forms its bouquet. Soothingly round, this mixes savory with sweet as ripe wild berry fruits swirl across a core of saline minerals and inner earth tones. A tinge of zesty acidity adds freshness and a citrus accent as the 2019 tapers off with admirable length and a tart wild blueberry concentration. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
