verso rosso
SALENTO
2013
indicazione geografica tipica
Verso is a very full-bodied, luscious wine made with a small percent of ‘appassimento’, or raisined, grapes. It comes from the same terrific people who make Casa Contini. The grapes are grown on two non-contiguous crus, with about 1500 cases total made, which is of course very small for Puglia. Rich and dark in color, with vibrant spice flavors, it is a hedonistic experience that captures the polished side of Negroamaro and Primitivo.
Characteristic deep red color. This wine is harmonic, balanced, and mature.
Its rich style shows pleasant notes of chocolate and spices. Great wine for red meats, stews, and game dishes. Excellent with mature hard cheeses…. or as a bottle all on its own.
*****
Absolutely delicious. Deep red, rich, and chocolatey.
Perfect for an evening by the fire ~ with nothing else ~
