WINE DESCRIPTION
Taurino Salice Salentino Riserva is a premium red wine produced by the Taurino family in the Salice Salentino appellation of southern Italy. The vineyards are located in the heart of the Salento peninsula, where the warm Mediterranean climate and the mineral-rich soil create ideal growing conditions for the Negroamaro and Malvasia Nera grape varieties. The wine is made using traditional winemaking techniques, including extended maceration and aging in oak barrels, resulting in a full-bodied and complex wine with rich aromas of dark fruit, spice, and tobacco.
