The Story Behind The Bottle
Habits Bottle Shop
From the makers of the well-known Papale Oro, Varvaglione's Salice Salentino comes from Puglia in Italy's sun-soaked south, a region increasingly recognized for delivering excellent value alongside serious character. This wine pours an impressive purple-black, hinting at the concentration and richness inside the glass. Made primarily from the Negroamaro grape, a Puglian specialty, it typically offers dark fruit flavors layered with earthy, savory undertones that reflect the region's warm growing conditions. It's a bold, structured red built for the table — pair it with grilled meats, hard aged cheeses, rustic pasta dishes, or roasted vegetables, where its depth of fruit and structure can stand up to hearty, savory flavors. Serve at cool room temperature and consider decanting to let the wine fully open. As a proven Italian producer with a track record for quality across their portfolio, Varvaglione brings consistency and character to this bottling, making it a great option for fans of bold Southern Italian reds.
