The 2019 Salice Salentino Riserva opens with black cherry and plum complemented by sweet herbs and tobacco. This is silky-smooth and rich, with ripe dark fruits and exotic spices. The Riserva leaves a staining of primary concentration while finishing lightly structured and energetic. $20.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, February 2023)

Italian wine rule #1: if you haven’t heard of it before, it’s likely good.
I can’t remember the last time I have seen a Salice Salentino. Brins me back to my bussing days 15 years ago.
Dark berries. Leather.

Easy going fruit & tannins. Ruby red color with garnet reflections. Blackberry, cherry, basil, & spices. Firm tannins create a robust yet balanced elegant wine.
