Castel di Salve Armecolo Salento Rosso (2007) Puglia



A spicy Italian red wine from Castel di Salve, the most southerly estate in Puglia. Owned and run by Francesco Marra and Francesco Winspeare, the two began estate bottling small quantities of wine in the late 1980's. Today, they have over 100 acres under vine; producing about 12,000 cases of seven different wines. The 2007 Armecolo is 80% Negroamaro and 20% Malvasia nera di lecce. Strong nose of black fruits; deep color. Lively acidity. A little short on the finish. (like these sentences) Synthetic cork.
