Casa Vinicola Apollonio
Salice Salentino Negroamaro
One of my fave wineries from Puglia. I have been a long time lover of the Squinzano, but this was spectacular! Ripe fruit with dried herbs and leather. Perfumed nose with cherry and dried lavender. Layer upon layer upon layer through the mid-palate, through to long supple finish.

Feb 7th, 2015We had this with a salami and cheese snack. It was okay, but would have been better with a ribeye.
