Masseria Parione Salice Salentino 2020

Masseria Parione Salice Salentino is praised for its rich, full-bodied profile with plum and cherry notes. Some find it vibrant and well-balanced, while others note a short finish. The wine is appreciated for its soft tannins and is considered a good value for everyday drinking.

This Negroamaro-based wine displays a deep ruby-red color with youthful purple reflections, gradually developing darker, richer hues with age. The nose is delicate yet expressive, offering aromas of wild berries, red cherries, licorice, and subtle forest floor. The palate is round and soft, featuring ripe red fruit, earthy undertones, and a touch of Mediterranean spice, leading to a smooth, velvety finish with balanced acidity. A fantastic pairing for rustic Italian cuisine, Masseria Parione Salice Salentino complements classic tomato-based dishes like pizza and lasagna, as well as grilled sausages, eggplant parmesan, and slow-cooked ragù. Its soft tannins and fruit-driven style also make it an excellent match for charcuterie, aged Pecorino cheese, or even simple rosemary-infused roasted vegetables. Serve slightly below room temperature (16-18°C) to enhance its fruit and spice complexity.
