Puglia At a Glance
Region NamePuglia
Most Puglia wine is red, full-bodied, and will pair well with a wide variety of foods. Producers in Puglia have focused on making great red wines, and local grapes like Negroamaro, Primitivo, and Bombino Nero make for delicious drinking. Some of the best values in Italian wine come from this sunny, dry region.
Score: 87Vintage 2021Wine SpectatorA 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 TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 89Vintage 2019VinousThe 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 TalkerFull Page Review
