Le Pitre Salice Salentino

750ml

Le Pitre Salice Salentino is a red wine from Puglia, Southern Italy. This Italian Primitivo provides a different experience than a California Zinfandel, coming in lighter than expected for a 15% alcohol content. The nose is defined by earthy tones, underlaid by hints of red fruits, blackberries, and sour cherry. Alongside these scents, one might catch the distinctive notes of black pepper and bitter cocoa.

The palate is fruit-forward, with the dominant flavors being cherry, plum, and strawberry. The wine has low acidity and medium tannins, contributing to its well-structured character. Its finish is long, marked by a persistent peppery note.
